She first had to do an apprenticeship as a confectioner. Then she was allowed to become an actress. As a sweet little girl, as is usual in Vienna films, she started in 1955 at the age of 17 alongside Rudolf Prack as Mary Vetsera in “Kronprinz Rudolph’s Last Love”. It must have been difficult for Christiane Hörbiger to free herself from the overpowering shadow of her parents on the same career path.
And yet, the three daughters of the Austrian great actor couple Paula Wessely and Attila Hörbiger, Elisabeth born in 1936, Christiane who was two years younger and Maresa, who was born in 1945, all were drawn to the stage. Maresa disappeared again early on, Elisabeth Orth consistently made a theater career under a different name and is today the doyenne of the Burgtheater.
