The way of German actress Hannelore Schroth (1922-1987) was early traced out.
Hannelore Schroth was the daughter of actor Heinrich Schroth and actress Käthe Haack. Her half-brother Carl-Heinz Schroth would also become a well-known actor. Hannelore already made her film debut at the age of nine in the comedy Dann schon lieber Lebertran (1931, Max Ophüls). At sixteen, she attended drama school. To her early successes belong the love story Spiel im Sommerwind (1938, Roger von Norman) and Kitty und die Weltkonferenz (1939, Helmut Käutner). During wartime, she continued her career with Friedrich Schiller (1940, Herbert Maisch), Sophienlund (1944, Heinz Rühmann) and Unter den Brücken (1945, Helmut Käutner), one of the most beautiful love stories of German cinema – without any trace of propaganda. Her acting in this film is still wonderfully natural.
After the war, Hannelore Schroth gained a foothold at the theatre and also continued her movie career with such hits as Taxi-Kitty (1950, Kurt Hoffmann) and Kommen Sie am Ersten (1951, Erich Engel). Later well-known movies are Der Hauptmann von Köpenick (1956, Helmut Käutner), Wie einst Lili Marleen (1956, Paul Verhoeven) and Der Mann, der nicht nein sagen konnte (1958, Kurt Früh). She also became a popular voice actor and dubbed Hollywood stars such as Shirley MacLaine and Elizabeth Taylor. From the 1950s followed regular engagements for tv. She became well-known to a younger audience when she impersonated the role of Mrs. Petrell in the successful Swedish serial Emil i Lönneberga (1971-1973), based on the novels by Astrid Lindgren. Among her last films were Bomber und Paganini (1976, Nicos Perakis) and Zwischengleis (1978, Wolfgang Staudte). She was awarded the Filmband in Gold in 1980 for her achievements in German cinema. She was married to the actor Carl Raddatz and the deep sea diver Hans Hass.
