Dorothea Wieck

[1] By the time Wieck was six years old, her father (an artist) and her mother (a musician) felt that she should be an actress.

[3] Wieck appeared in around 50 films and played on the stages of many large theatres, notably at the Deutsches Theater and the Schillertheater, Berlin.

[citation needed] Wieck was married to Baron Ernest von der Decken, "a man of reputed influence in the Nazi regime".

[4] During World War II, German Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels gave a reception at which Wieck was the guest of honor.

[4] DNB, the German official news agency, erroneously reported in March 1945 that Wieck had been killed in an air attack on Dresden by Allied forces.
