Life
The son of the glazier Karl Hödl and his wife Paula geb. Schmider attended the federal secondary school on the Danube Canal in his hometown . He graduated from the Academy for Music and Performing Arts Vienna and made his debut at the Volkstheater in 1930 . After two years he moved to the Reichenberg City Theater in Bohemia. He then also played at the Burgtheater in Vienna and in Zurich and Berlin . He was a member of the theater in der Josefstadt for more than forty years.
A few years after his acting debut, he was discovered for film in 1935, and he played his first two roles that year as Karl Hödl in two emigrant productions. There his role subject was the dashing young man who conquered the female audience with sympathetic good-naturedness. His best-known films from this period include Confetti (1936), Lumpacivagabundus (1936), Finale - The Restless Girls (1938), The Disgust (1939) and Immortal Waltz (1939). Other popular entertainment films followed by the end of the war, such as Der Postmeister (1940), Rosen in Tirol (1940), Who the Gods Love (1942), Schrammeln (1944) and Geld ins Haus / Der Millionär (1945).
At the side of Paula Wessely , Attila and Paul Hörbiger as well as Hans Moser , Hans Holt played in a total of more than eighty homeland films and comedies . Even when he was over forty, he often played the young man in love. His best-known role then became that of Baron von Trapp in the homeland films The Trapp Family (1956) and The Trapp Family in America (1958). This also enabled him to make the transition to the subject of father and husband.
In addition to his film roles, he also appeared in plays by Hugo von Hofmannsthal , Arthur Schnitzler and Franz Molnár . In addition to the Theater in der Josefstadt, he participated in guest tours on other stages. He also wrote several plays himself. One of his last major stage roles was the "Heavenly Conceptualist" in Molnár's Liliom at the Berndorfer Festival under the direction of Felix Dvorak. He played his last role on stage in Vanillikipferln . In this play by Lotte Ingrisch he played the old senior building officer.
In later years he mainly became a television actor. In 1973 he was seen in 13 episodes alongside Marika Rökk in the family series The Schöngrubers . In the early 1980s , Hans Holt played in the television series I will marry a family and in the ORF impromptu game series Die liebe Familie, which is broadcast on Saturdays . From 1985 to 1989 he worked as Franz alongside Alfred Böhm in the 26-episode series Der Leihopa .
One of his peculiarities was a muffled and slightly nasal chamber playing tone. In earlier film roles he often gave vocal parts. Hans Holt was married to the former script girl Renate Bremer (1911-2004) since 1936. The only daughter, Renate, died in 1945 in the second year of life.
Hans Holt died in the Hilde Wagener artist home in Baden near Vienna; his grave is in the Neustift cemetery (group H, row 6, number 23).
