Life

The daughter of elementary school teacher Walther Haas and his wife Stefanie, née Klager, lost their father at the age of five. Her mother ran a restaurant in Schönbrunn Palace , so Haas grew up in the palace complex. During the war she attended a fashion school, which she completed with a journeyman's examination. After the end of the war, she took acting lessons from the castle actress Julia Janssen and studied music at the Vienna Conservatory . She made her debut at the Landestheater Linz ; from 1948 she played at the Renaissance theater and other Viennese theaters. In 1949 she appeared together with Peter Alexander in Ludwig Schmidseder's operetta Farewell Waltz at the Vienna Citizens' Theater .

She experienced her breakthrough as a film actress with the role of the young Wachau girl Mariandl Mühlhuber in the home film Der Hofrat Geiger (1947). In the remake Mariandl (1961) and the sequel Mariandls Heimkehr (1962) she embodied the mother, as well as at the 2005 Wachau Festival, in which her husband played and directed the councilor. He was also supposed to direct in Vienna's Gloria Theater , but died before that. In September 2011 the play had its premiere with her son as a director, and Haas plays the foster grandma.
