Marianne Stewart , also Anna Marie Stewart , Annemarie Stewart , Anna Marie Schunzel or Marianne Sherman , (born January 16, 1922 as Annemarie Schünzel in Berlin , German Empire ; † November 1, 1992 in Los Angeles , California , United States ) was a German-American Actress .

Live and act

Annemarie Schünzel, the daughter of Reinhold Schünzel and his wife at the time, Hanne Brinkmann , grew up in Berlin and Great Britain . Schünzel, who had since been divorced from Brinkmann, had sent her there because of the rise of anti-Semitism at the beginning of the Third Reich , where she went to school. When Schünzel emigrated to the USA in September 1937, he took his daughter on board in Southampton . When she arrived in Hollywood , she made her debut in front of the camera at the age of 18 under her maiden name with a tiny role as a farm girl in the film Four Sons . Due to her marriage to an American, her name was shortly thereafter Anna Marie Stewart, but she continued to use her maiden name and minimally Americanized it to Anna Marie Schunzel. The young actress was naturalized under this name on January 14, 1944 in the USA. Immediately before that, she appeared in films as Anne Marie Stewart from 1942 to 1944 “with small foreigner roles”.

In September 1944, father and daughter Schünzel stood together on stage for the first time and took part in the comedians' cabaret. Since 1945 Schünzel's daughter has only called herself Marianne Stewart. From September 1945 to January 1948 she appeared on New York Broadway in three plays ( You Touched Me, Swan Song, The Survivors ). In between, she resumed her film work in 1946. Since 1950, the German-American has been seen regularly in both cinema and television films, but only in small roles. When her father finally returned to Germany in 1952, Marianne Stewart stayed in the USA. She was seen several times in individual episodes of popular TV series such as Smoking Colts , Alfred Hitchcock Presents , Bonanza and Perry Mason . Annemarie Schünzel / Marianne Stewart was most recently married to the American Allen N. Sherman, and another marriage was entered into with fellow actor Louis Calhern . Long inactive as an actor, she died in Los Angeles at the age of 70.
