Greta Schröder

Greta Schröder (27 June 1892 – 8 June 1980) was a German actress. She is best known for the role of Thomas Hutter's wife and Count Orlok's victim in the 1922 silent film Nosferatu. In the fictionalized 2000 film, Shadow of the Vampire, she is portrayed as having been a famous actress during the making of Nosferatu, but in fact she was little known. The bulk of her career was during the 1920s, and she continued to act well into the 1950s, but by the 1930s her roles had diminished to only occasional appearances. Following a failed marriage with struggling actor Ernst Matray, she was married to actor and film director Paul Wegener until his death in 1948. According to the Austrian writer Kay Weniger, Greta Schröder died in 1980, though some sources mention 1967. 2Filmography 3Actress 1913: Die Insel der Seligen 1920: The Red Peacock 1920: The Golem: How He Came into the World 1920: The Closed Chain 1921: The Lost Shadow 1921: Zirkus des Lebens 1921: Marizza 1921: Nosferatu 1922: Es leuchtet meine Liebe 1923: Brüder 1923: Paganini 1930: Die zwölfte Stunde - Eine Nacht des Grauens (re-edited version of Nosferatu with sound) 1937: Victoria the Great 1938: Sixty Glorious Years 1943: Melody of a Great City 1943: Wild Bird 1944: Kolberg 1951: Maria Theresa 1953: Stars Over Colombo 1953: Anna Louise and Anton 3Writer 1915: Zucker und Zimt 1916: Das Phantom der Oper 2References in popular culture In the 2000 film Shadow of the Vampire, which depicted the production of Nosferatu, Catherine McCormack portrayed Greta Schröde
