Life

The parents of the illegitimate Gertraude Marianne Münzel born in Vienna's Brigittaspital were Siegfried Stark, a secretary in the Federal Chancellery, and Margarete Münzel. In 1934 Robert Reich discovered it at the Vienna Trade Fair on the occasion of a cinema exhibition and used it for advertising recordings. She received her first film role in 1935 in Fahrt in der Jugend . The parents are already married at this point. The father always leads the contract negotiations for the film engagements and the mother accompanies them to the filming. The little girl subsequently played successfully in many films. The Berlin production company Siegel-Monopol wanted to poach them with unfair means from the Viennese Mondial company and even the courts were tried because of this. Because of the war, an international career was out of the question. After the war, the child star had become a teenager who was no longer interested in the film. Her first love was Sepp, the only son of the Ottakring textile merchant, Lederhosen-Ziegler. From 1945 to 1947 she played theater in Vienna, including a sketch with the young Heinz Conrads in the Vienna Konzerthaus .

On November 22, 1948, in the chapel of the Viennese merchant's hospital in Döbling , she married Jack Elliot, a southern farmer from Alabama, four years her senior, and went to America with him. Several children grew out of the marriage. At that time the hospital housed a military hospital and a number of American offices. The two had met here, Elliot was here as a member of the American occupation forces, Stark worked as an office clerk for the occupiers.
