Renate Brausewetter
Renate Brausewetter (1 October 1905 – 20 August 2006) was a Spanish-born German silent film actress. She was the younger sister of famous German actor Hans Brausewetter.[1]
Brausewetter was born in Málaga, Spain, moving to Berlin, Germany in 1915. She made her screen debut in 1925's Die freudlose Gasse (The Joyless Street), appearing alongside Greta Garbo. Brausewetter appeared in over a dozen silent films, but retired from acting in 1928 before the advent of sound. She appeared in only one sound picture, 1950's The Staircase.[2]
