Maria Zelenka
Maria Zelenka (born July 28, 1895 in Höbersdorf ( Lower Austria ), † August 30, 1975 in Vienna ) was an Austrian actress .
Life
Maria Zelenka, also called Mizzi , was born as the first daughter of Johann Zelenka, a tram driver in Vienna-Döbling , and Johanna Kerschl in Höbersdorf (Lower Austria).
After Maria Zelenka had only attended drama school Otto for 14 days, she was able to celebrate her first stage success as Käthi in the play Alt-Heidelberg at the Linz State Theater in 1914 . Maria Zelenka later received engagements at the Stadttheater Nürnberg, the Hoftheater Mannheim, the Hofburgtheater Vienna and the Hoftheater Munich. She was Minna von Barnhelm , Klärchen in Egmont or Gretchen in Faust .
From 1918 to 1932 she took part in numerous silent films after responding to a newspaper advertisement. Initially she was under contract with May-Film GmbH and later moved to Danny Kadern GmbH after paying a transfer fee. Here she advanced to become a silent film star. She almost always received leading roles in film dramas, less often in comedies.
In 1933 and 1934 she made guest appearances with her husband, actor, singer and director Alfred Läutner , who, however, was excluded from the Reich Theater and Reich Film Chamber in 1935 .
The advent of talkies put an end to her career, and the once busy actress was completely forgotten after World War II.
Maria Zelenka lived in Vienna since the death of her husband in 1943.
