Live and act

She began her career as an actress in the Olympic film productions produced by Walter Traut . She had her first role in 1939 in "Osterskitour in Tirol" (also "Osterskifahrt in Tirol") with the leading actor Heinrich Harrer , the Austrian mountaineer. 1940 followed a role in Rudolf Weiser's "ABC im Schnee" and 1942 "Jugend in Sonne und Schnee".

In 1941 she changed her job and became a production and camera assistant in Sepp Allgeier's "Wehrmachtsfilm". The film could never be completed, however, as a large number of the men involved in the film were drafted into the war against the Soviet Union .

In 1943 she married Hans Dreihann-Holenia and from then on was also known under the name Trude Dreihann . She continued to work as a camera assistant, including in Leni Riefenstahl 's last film " Tiefland ", which, with Isabella Ploberger as the art director, had a particularly large number of women.

In 1948 she played again in a film with the skier Sepp Zwicknagel and Herbert Matt and Jan Boon in “Ten Years Later” - a kind of coming to terms with the past. The director was Olympic film director Harald Reinl . Hollywood movie star Tyrone Power attended the premiere of the film and was so impressed by the film that he decided to personally release the film in the United States . The film has cult status and is shown annually on ORF .

Her son, Alexander Dreihann-Holenia, nephew of the Austrian author Alexander Lernet-Holenia , worked as an organizer of literary and cultural events in Austria.
