biography

Shortly after the end of the First World War, Roth received acting lessons at the drama school of the German Theater in Berlin with Ilka Grüning . She then acted primarily on stages in Vienna such as the Burgtheater , but also in Berlin, Munich and Basel .

After the annexation of Austria , the Jewish woman emigrated to London and finally to the USA . She also played theater there and worked for American broadcasters . Rose Renée Roth returned to Austria in the early 1950s .

Theater appearances have taken her to various German-speaking stages, for example to the Munich comedy in Erich Ebermayer's crime comedy Zwei unshnungslose Engel (1968), Pierre Barillet / Jean-Pierre Grédy's tabloid play Forty Karat (1969) and Axel von Ambesser's comedy Max Mahnke als Mensch (1971) . She celebrated her greatest success as the murderous aunt in Joseph Kesselring's black comedy Arsenic and Lace Cap , with which she went on tour until 1984 .

The actress, who is only 1.55 meters tall, had a remarkable late career in film and television. She often embodied lovable, somewhat frightened-looking older women in aunt roles. In the literary film adaptation of Königswald Castle (1988), as Countess Posadowsky, she tried to save a Bohemian castle from the post-war period. Roth received the Bavarian Film Prize for her acting performance in this role .

Rose Renée Roth, who was unmarried, moderated the television show Hitjournal with Manfred Sexauer from October 1973 , in which she presented hits for older listeners.
