Edeltraud Schubert

Biography

Edeltraud Schubert (born April 23, 1917; died presumably July 12, 2013, in Mariegärd, Finland) was a German actress.

Edeltraud Schubert did not begin her acting career until she had reached retirement age; between 1989 and 2009, she appeared regularly in film and television productions. She frequently portrayed elderly ladies or grandmothers in supporting roles.

She appeared particularly often in well-known German television series, including multiple appearances in Tatort as well as several episodes of Der Bulle von Tölz. She was also present on the big screen in smaller roles—most notably in (T)Raumschiff Surprise – Periode 1 as a charity collector, and in Wer früher stirbt ist länger tot as a great-grandmother.

Among her final works were appearances in 2009 in the anthology film Deutschland 09 and in the Tatort episode Gesang der toten Dinge. Schubert presumably died in 2013 at the age of 96 in Finland, where she was also laid to rest.
