Life
Born Emmy Percy, she began her stage career in 1924 at the Burgtheater in her hometown of Vienna. After only one season she moved to the ensemble of the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg , to which she was to belong for over two decades. In 1947 Emmy Percy returned to Vienna to fulfill an obligation at the Kammerspiele there. Back in Hamburg, you could see her in the theater in the room . Even after the death of her husband (since 1936), the actor Karl Wüstenhagen , she stayed in the Hamburger Hochallee, but since then has only worked as a freelancer with piece contracts.
Since the death of Wüstenhagen (1950), Emmy Percy-Wüstenhagen has often stood in front of film and television cameras. There she embodied mostly cultivated, established, older women from society, but also simple, subservient spirits like in Helmut Käutner's Des Teufels General . In 1959 she starred in the first of a long line of hugely successful German Durbridge television thrillers , The Other .
Emmy Percy-Wüstenhagen later returned to Vienna.
She is buried in the Ober Sankt Veiter Friedhof (E-1-28) in Vienna.
