Biography

[edit]

Winnie Markus was born in Czechoslovakia in 1921. She moved to Vienna from Prague and trained in the Max Reinhardt Seminar.[1]

Markus began her career with Wien-Film in 1939 during the Nazi period, starring in Mutterliebe, directed by Gustav Ucicky, the illegitimate son of Gustav Klimt.[2] She was considered to embody the Deutsches Fraulein - blonde hair, delicate features, and an air of innocence rather than overt sex appeal.[2]
