[edit] Biography
Uhlen was born Gisela Friedhilde Schreck in Leipzig, Germany to father Augustin Schreck, brother of Nosferatu star Max Schreck. Uhlen began acting in 1936, with her first role being in the German film Annemarie. Die Geschichte einer jungen Liebe. From 1936 through 1960, Uhlen appeared in 23 films, and in 1960 she steered her career into television. Her career was active throughout her lifetime, with her having more than 56 television appearances into 2006, entirely in the German and European realm.
She married six times, most notably to German writer, director and producer Hans Bertram, with whom she had daughter Barbara Bertam, who also became an actress, but with little success. With Kieling Uhlen would have daughter Susanne Uhlen, who is now a successful German actress. During the Cold War, and following her divorce from Hans Bertram, Uhlen fled into East Germany to avoid a custody battle over their daughter, an unusual move in a time when most people were attempting to escape from East Germany.
