Life

Hela Gruel was born into a middle-class family as the daughter of a Bremen senator and businessman. Her parents countered her wish to become an actress by sending her to a girls' boarding school in Thale . There she met Leni Riefenstahl . Joint visits to the theater tended to increase the desire to become an actress. Finally she took acting lessons from Doramaria Herwelly in Bremen, where she made her debut in 1920. This was followed by engagements in Dusseldorf , Frankfurt , Lübeck and Berlin .

After the end of the war, he worked in Schwerin . An artistic directorship in Freiberg remained an episode and Gruel worked from Berlin as a freelance actress until 1957. Some DEFA films and productions of the DFF , in which she worked as an actress, also date from this period . In 1957 she came to Hamburg , where she worked as a voice actress (for example in the film Tiger Bay (1959), in which she lent Rachel Thomas her voice as Mrs. Parry) and was soon to be seen again in film and television, as in the Street sweepers of the steel mesh series. The type of woman she embodied was rather austere with a short haircut as a trademark.

Gruel also worked in radio plays, around 1966 in "Secret about a nocturnal fire" from the mystery series based on Enid Blyton .
