Maria Fein (7 April 1892 – 5 September 1965), was a Jewish-Catholic actress from Vienna who became a star of German theatre and film before the rise of Adolf Hitler forced her departure. During her time in Germany she was largely associated with the theatrical producer/director Max Reinhardt and had acted in plays by such writers as Christian Friedrich Hebbel, Friedrich Schiller, William Shakespeare, Aeschylus and Ferdinand Bruckner. Between 1916 and 1932 Fein appeared in at least twenty-three German films working with pioneer movie directors Robert Wiene, Uwe Jens Krafft, Hanna Henning, Rochus Gliese, Walter Schmidthässle, Frederic Zelnik, Albert Lastmann, Paul Leni, Rudolf Walther-Fein, Michael Curtiz, Rudolf Meinert and Fritz Friedmann-Frederich. Following the Nazi annexation of Austria in 1938, Fein fled to the Netherlands and in 1941 found refuge for the duration of the war in Switzerland. Fein remained active on stage over the balance of her life in her adopted Switzerland and abroad until shortly before her death. ==Early life and family== Fein was born in Vienna to a Jewish family that reportedly at some point converted to Catholicism. She was the daughter of Fanny Süssermann and Otto Fein, editor of the Neue Freie Presse, and an older sister of Franz Fein, an author and translator of American novels, Fein married the German actor Theodor Becker with whom she had two daughters, Thea and actress Maria Becker. Fein’s marriage to Becker ended in divorce in the mid-1930s after a long separation.〔(Maria Fein, Institut für Theaterwissenschaft ) Retrieved August 29, 2014〕〔(Maria Fein, Steffi-Line.de ) Retrieved August 29, 2014〕〔Jacobsohn, Siegfried, (2005, p. 521 - ''Gesammelte Schriften 1900-1926'' ) Retrieved August 14, 2014〕〔Weniger, Kay, (2011, p. 165 - ''Es wird im Leben dir mehr genommen als gegeben ...
