biography

Born in Chemnitz due to adverse circumstances, the daughter of Bavarian parents came to her hometown of Munich at the age of seven , where she has lived ever since. She received her first small role at the age of twelve in the film The Perjury Farmer . After two Heinz Erhardt films ( father, mother and nine children as well as of course the drivers ) the young actress took acting and ballet lessons and continued to stand in front of the camera.

The critics noticed her in the 1960 television film Frédéric Chopin and George Sand as the composer's stepdaughter. The Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote: "The well-known leading actors didn’t work as intensely as the very young Margitta Scherr, who had one of the most amazing and convincing talent tests of recent times."

The Munich actress showed her talent on the big screen with her first leading role as partner of Carlos Thompson in The Hero of My Dreams , played under the direction of Frank Wisbar in the officers' factory , as the daughter of Luise Ullrich in Mrs. Irene Besser and had Maria Schell and OW Fischer as film parents in Das Riesenrad , before she was hired in 1961 for the title role - Das Bärbele - in Schwarzwaldmädel , a film adaptation of an operetta by Wilm ten Haaf . In the same year Michael Pflegehar brought her in front of the camera for his television show Too young to be blond , which was awarded the Golden Rose of Montreux .

In the 1960s, the Munich resident took part in numerous hit films that were popular at the time, in which music, love, travel and comedy dominated. After she had appeared on three dozen front pages of German magazines (including 1963 on the front page of Bravo and 1968 on the cover of Quick ), America's most famous men's magazine became aware of her. The Playboy (November 1964) devoted Margitta Scherr cover story "The girls of Germany" a full-page lead story photo where she remained, however, fully clothed.

After leading roles on television, etc. a. in The Bells of London after Charles Dickens and Boni (as the Bavarian butcher's daughter Evi , who falls in love with a black man), Margitta Scherr was in episode roles in the television series The Next Please , Inspector Freytag , Country Doctor Dr. Brock and room 13 were used. She played her last major film role in 1966 as Vevi in Das sündige Dorf (with Hans-Jürgen Bäumler ).

After that, Margitta Scherr successfully stood for months as the title character in the tabloid comedy Mary, Mary on the stage of the Intimate Theater in Wuppertal .

After 23 films and numerous television roles, she gained further fame with a television audience of millions through the popular artist series Salto Mortale (with Gustav Knuth ), in which she embodied the trapeze artist Francis Doria . After this series ended, Margitta Scherr ended her career as an actress and withdrew into private life. She completed an eight-semester foreign language course and then worked for many years as a press officer for international films.

Margitta Scherr was married to the renowned film photographer Karlheinz Vogelmann ( Das Boot , Die Unendliche Geschichte ) from 1962 to 1977 . Son Alexander Daniel was born in 1964.
