Grete Weixler
Grete Weixler (* around 1900, † after 1921) was a German actress of the silent film era .
Life
Weixler was born as the younger sister of the actress Dorrit Weixler : "The beginnings of her [Dorrits] activity fell in my childhood," said Weixler in 1919, looking back. Her grandfather had been successful as an actor in Hungary , Weixler's aunt lived as an artist in Vienna. Weixler's other siblings also turned to the performing arts.
Weixler made her film debut in 1915 in the feature film Seasons of Life , directed by Franz Hofer , who was married to her sister Dorrit Weixler. In contrast to Dorrit Weixler, who was the first backfish in German cinema to specialize in childlike young women and who took her own life dependent on morphine in 1916 , Grete Weixler made mostly serious films, including Geopfert in 1916 ... directed by Walter Schmidthässler , and Margarete in 1918 . The story of a fallen soldier directed by Friedrich Zelnik and abducted by Carl Boese in 1919 . Also in 1919 she took on the supporting role of Lilly in the second part of the film The Path That Leads to Damnation , one of the most controversial and “most successful products from the post-war wave of moral films” about the fate of two young women who fall into the hands of girl traffickers.
In addition to her work in film, Weixler was also a stage actress and appeared at the Trianon Theater in Berlin , among others . As early as 1922, Jaap Speyer made The Daughter of the Seduced , in which Weixler was cast as the banker's daughter, her last film.
