About Rotraut Richter
Attractive, blonde leading lady of German films in the 1930's and 40's. The daughter of an architect father and an artist mother, she studied acting under Gustav Hartung in Berlin. From the early 30's, she achieved huge popularity on stage and in Berlin cabaret. Discovered for films by Joe May, she was effectively cast in feisty rebellious or tomboyish roles, or as 'wallflowers' ("veilchen"). She resumed her career with the East German Defa company after World War II, but sadly died on the operating table undergoing an appendicitis operation, aged just 32.
