Timeline
On 20 January 2000 she celebrated her 93rd birthday quietly, with only her three daughters and grandchildren at her home in Vienna-Grinzing. The following April she suffered an acute attack of bronchitis and was admitted to a hospital in Vienna. She died on 11 May 2000 at the venerable age of 93, "peacefully in her sleep", as the Burgtheater management announced the following day. She was buried two weeks later at the side of her husband in an Ehrengrab of the Grinzing cemetery.
In 1957 she was again criticized for her appearance in the homophobic film Anders als du und ich by Veit Harlan.
Theatre actress at the famous Burgtheater in Vienna from 1953 to 1987. She retired from acting shortly after her husband's death.
Briefly operated her own production company during the 1950's.
As she appeared on antisemitic propaganda movies, she was criticized later by Austrian intellectuals. Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek considered Heimkehr (1941) the worst Nazi propaganda movie of all and called Wessely "the prototype of an actress in the Third Reich".
She was an actress and producer, known for Episode (1935), Maskerade (1934) and Maria Theresia (1951). She was married to Attila Hörbiger.
In 1926 she became a member of the New German Theatre ensemble in Prague, where she and her future husband Attila Hörbiger (1896-1987) performed in Les Nouveaux Messieurs by Flers and Croisset.
Wessely trained for acting at the Reinhardt Seminar and made her theatrical debut in 1924 with the Vienna Deutsches Volkstheater in a play by Sudermann. Specialising in sophisticated comedy, she became a prominent actress of the stage, appearing in Prague (1926), Salzburg, Berlin and the Vienna Burgtheater. She was permanently contracted from 1929 to 1945 by the Theater in der Josefstadt. From the 1930's, she developed into a more serious actress, handling roles like Gretchen in "Faust" (1935) and Joan of Arc in "Die heilige Johanna" (1936), a part which she was associated with for the rest of her career. Wessely was noted for her unaffected, natural manner. She became a screen actress at the height of her theatrical fame.
Paula Wessely was born on January 20, 1907 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary as Paula Anna Maria Wessely.
She was born in Vienna, the daughter of butcher Carl Wessely, younger brother of the late Burgtheater actress Josephine Wessely (1860-1887), whom many believed or still believe to be her sister.
