Greta Schröder was a renowned German actress, whose career spanned multiple decades, leaving a lasting impression on the world of cinema.
Her most iconic role was that of Thomas Hutter's wife in the 1922 silent film masterpiece, Nosferatu, a performance that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
Contrary to the fictionalized portrayal in the 2000 film, Shadow of the Vampire, which depicted her as a celebrated actress during the making of Nosferatu, the reality was that she was relatively unknown at the time.
The 1920s marked the peak of her career, with her continued acting endeavors extending well into the 1950s. However, by the 1930s, her roles began to dwindle, with occasional appearances becoming the norm.
Greta Schröder's remarkable life came to a close on 8 June 1980, at the ripe age of 87, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and entertain.
