Life

The daughter of a high school professor was already on the stage of the Burgtheater as a child in 1932 and played at the Theater in der Josefstadt in 1933 in Kakadu-Kakada by Carl Zuckmayer . At the age of fifteen, during the Nazi era from 1938 onwards, she attended the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna, where she received her artistic training.

In the subject of the lively and naive, she then worked at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin and from 1938 again at the Theater in der Josefstadt . From 1940 she was used in corresponding roles in film, preferably in typical Viennese films . In supporting roles, she embodied the dashing Viennese girl. Films of this type were sponsored by the Nazi regime to distract people from the difficulties of wartime. In Verklungenes Wien , she performs with her twin sister Traute Servi.

From 1952 to 1960 Helli Servi worked in the popular radio family , which is broadcast almost weekly and in which Ingeborg Bachmann also worked as a writer until 1953 , as Hanni, later Helli Floriani, daughter of the family and initially a 16-year-old high school student.

Since Helli Servi, married Krismanek, received only a few offers from film in her later years, she concentrated entirely on her appearances in the theater in der Josefstadt, where she was mainly used in comic roles. She toured several times and worked for radio as a radio play speaker .

Her grave is in the Grinzinger Friedhof in Vienna, Group 18, No. 121.
