Helga Marold (born June 2, 1916 in Lüderitzbucht , German South West Africa (now Namibia ), † December 18, 2005 in Baden-Baden ) was a German actress , broadcaster and author .

Life

Helga Marold was born in German South West Africa (now Namibia ) and grew up in Berlin. There she attended the State Drama School and received her first stage engagements at the State Theater and the Komische Oper . After further success as a stage actress (inter alia at the Centraltheater in Dresden), she was engaged in 1934 for the first test broadcasts on German television. For the productions of the television station Berlin she worked both as an actress and as an announcer.

As a result of these appearances in short film productions (among others under the direction of Fritz Genschow ) she made her feature film debut in 1938 under the direction of Hans Hinrich in Dreiklang . Her second film production, the drama Old Heart Goes on a Journey , drew the interest of Joseph Goebbels . However, when both Marold and the director Carl Junghans refused to work in the Reichsfilmkammer on further productions in his favor, the film Old Heart Goes on the Journey was banned and both film careers stagnated. Helga Marold only appeared in supporting roles in a few films, such as Géza from Cziffra's drama Leuchtende Schatten . Even after the end of the Second World War , she was only seen as a rare guest in film and television productions.

Instead, Marold turned more to the theater. She played u. a. in Rosenheim and at the Celler Schloßtheater .

Another of Marold's artistic mainstays was broadcasting. She acted as announcer and speaker for numerous broadcasts of the Süddeutscher Rundfunk and also lent her voice as a voice actress for various German feature film versions .

She also worked as a correspondent for various newspapers (including Welt am Sonnabend , Badische Zeitung ) and wrote stories for children ( Kindergeschichten , 1984).

Helga Marold was married to the actor and theater director Horst-Werner Loos (1915–1981), with whom she stood together in front of the camera in 1964 in Eugen York's television thriller Six Hours of Fear .
