Her father Karl Ludwig Zwerenz (born  September 30,  1850 in Vienna; †  December 28,  1925 there ) was an actor and director, as director also head of the theaters in Bozen , Meran , Bucharest , Teplitz , Iglau , Pressburg and Bad Hall (where 1880 the baby Mizzi Zwerenz by Kapellmeister Gustav Mahler is said to have been driven around the theater in a pram during the breaks between performances). Her mother, Eveline Zwerenz (* 1842, †  February 8,  1921 in Vienna), worked at the Stadttheater in Baden near Vienna from 1888–91 and 1893–1903 . Her grandfather Karl Zwerenz (1826–1898) and her great-grandfather Karl Ludwig Costenoble were Hofburg actors. For now, she didn't want to follow in the family's footsteps. Then she followed the tradition, took lessons and made her debut in Baden near Vienna. She played in Bielitz , at the summer theater in Mödling , was on tour with the Viennese soubrette ensemble in Russia, at the Friedrich-Wilhelmstädtisches Theater in Berlin and sang at the Carltheater in Vienna between 1901 and 1920 . Zwerenz was also a first force in the Vienna Apollo Theater . In the early 1920s she ran the Mizzi Zwerenz establishment in Baden , for which she continuously engaged popular artists (including Fritz Imhoff ). In addition to her stage work, she has appeared in a number of films, including a. in Little Veronika (1929) and Waltz about the Stephansturm (1935). Her voice has been preserved on numerous gramophone records, which she sang about early, from 1905 onwards.

From 1905 Zwerenz was married to the actor Arthur Guttmann , brother of the twins Emil and Paul Guttmann , in 1937 she retired from the stage. Her son, Fritz Zwerenz (born  September 3,  1895 in Baden near Vienna, †  October 12,  1970 in Linz ), was a successful artist in the field of music theater who sometimes supported his mother as band master.

Zwerenz died on June 14, 1947 in the Kaiser Franz Josef Hospital in Vienna of a heart condition. It rests in an honorary grave in the Hietzinger Friedhof (group 29, number 9).
