Life

Born Vera Kment, she was the daughter of a German and an engineer from Hungary. After a short acting training at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna, she was conscripted and worked in an armaments factory.

After the end of the war she was discovered by the Hungarian director Géza von Cziffra , who used her in several of his films under the stage name "Vera Molnar". In 1950 she played a leading role in Zarah Leander's first post-war film "Gabriela". In the title role of the revue film The Third From Right , she became a star of West German post-war cinema alongside Peter van Eyck and Grethe Weiser . In the following years , Marika Rökk and Germaine Damar gave the German revue film even more glamor than they did. Meanwhile, Vera Molnar took on minor roles in Italian and American productions, but she did not succeed in a career in international film. Even at the theater she only received brief engagements. At the end of the fifties she settled in Rome, where she worked as a painter. She was married to the skiing and sports instructor Markus Moser from 1946 to around 1950. Her second husband was an Italian industrialist.
