ABOUT JANE TILDEN

Over the course of her nearly seven-decade screen acting career, this Austrian entertainer appeared in television shows such as Hotel Paradies (in 1990) and Schlosshotel Orth (1996-99) and in films such as The Blue Fox (1938) and Vienna, City of My Dreams (1957).

She made her screen acting debut in the 1936 Austrian feature Die Leuchter des Kaisers.

Up until the 1950s, she worked primarily in film. In the later decades of her career, however, she could be seen primarily in television guest star roles.

A native of Aussig, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Tilden (born Marianne Tuch) grew up with a brother, Walter Tuch, who had a successful career as a cinematographer. She was married (at different times) to both musical composer Alexander Steinbrecher and Austrian screen actor Erik Frey.

She and Mady Christians were both Austrian screen actresses born near the turn of the century.
