life and career
Ingeborg Grunewald was born in Dresden as the daughter of an architect. She studied theater studies in Munich and Heidelberg and also attended an interpreting school in England . She also took acting classes. Born in Saxony, she made her theatrical debut during the Second World War in Munich, where she appeared at the old Residenz and Prinzregententheater . Then she went to her hometown Dresden and Reichenberg ( Sudetenland ). After the war she played in Hamburg , Braunschweig and Hanover .
In 1948 she took part in an audition: The MGM film company planned to have a number of old Garbo films re-dubbed, as the old German versions had largely been lost. The recently carried out synchronization of The Woman with Two Faces with Eva Vaitl had been found unsatisfactory. Therefore one was looking for a new voice for the "Divine". Grunewald was supposed to audition for the role of the Grand Duchess in Ninotschka , but then she was given the dubbing of the title role, as her dark voice was very reminiscent of Garbo. In the following years, Grunewald not only became the regular spokesperson for the Swedish actress, but also became a sought-after dubbing actress. In addition to the Garbo she borrowed several times Katharine Hepburn ( Adam's Rib , The Rainmaker ), Bette Davis ( What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? , The black circle ) and Edwige Feuillère ( The double-headed eagle , as long as I live ) their distinctive voice. She also spoke for Marlene Dietrich ( The Red Lola ), Ingrid Bergman ( Slave of the Heart ), Maureen O'Hara and Jo Van Fleet .
Ingeborg Grunewald later worked primarily as a dialogue writer and dubbing director, including for Bicycle Thieves , Leopards Don't Kiss , The Lost Weekend , the TV series Bonanza and the children's series Nils Holgersson . After all, there was hardly any time left to take on large synchronous roles. From 1965 to 1987 she was a producer for the magnetic film .
