Live and act
Seidner, who had received her artistic training under Josef Danegger and Ernst Arndt at the New Vienna Conservatory , had been married since December 1904. She was discovered by the Viennese cabaret artist Fritz Grünbaum and immediately committed to the Boulevard Theater, which he directed. She is said to have celebrated a great success there with the sketch " Im Coupé ". Seidner's other venues in Vienna were the Kammerspiele, Komödie, the Neue Wiener Schauspielhaus, the Deutsche Volkstheater and the theater in der Josefstadt run by Max Reinhardt . Irene Seidner also took part in two early Austrian sound films (" Die Große Liebe ", " Sonnenstrahl ").
After the annexation of Austria in 1938, the Jew had to flee Vienna and entered the USA via Great Britain on October 30, 1938 . A US citizen since April 5, 1939, Irene Seidner found work in Hollywood with tiny roles in anti-Nazi propaganda films, especially during World War II . In between, Seidner also returned to the theater and appeared, for example, in the play ' Suds in Your Eyes ' at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles in autumn 1945 and as mother Lucasta in ' Anna Lucasta ' at the Coronet Theater in the same city in the summer of 1949 . From 1952 the elderly artist found employment in American television.
