From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wolf Albach-Retty (May 28, 1906 as Helmuth Wolf Albach - February 21, 1967) was a Vienna-born Austrian actor. He had a daughter with German actress Magda Schneider named Romy Schneider.
Albach-Retty was the son of actress Rosa Albach-Retty and K. u. K. officer Karl Albach. He trained at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna and at the the age of twenty played his first role at the Vienna Burgtheater.
He was a young man when he first appeared in a silent film role in 1927. During the Third Reich, he made romance films and musicals. In 1936 he married Magda Schneider and temporarily took up German citizenship.
After World War II, his acting career soured as his past successes were no longer remembered and he was only able to find supporting acting roles in films. He returned to the Burgtheater and started in, among other things, Anatol by Arthur Schnitzler. By that time he was into his second marriage to actress Marlen Trude. His body is buried in Vienna's Central Cemetery.
