Maria Schell
After decades in the business, Maria Schell is the kind of actress with a body of work built one job at a time. Steady employment, rather than one breakout, gives the career its shape. 'Superman' remains the reference point, thanks largely to Vond-Ah. Elsewhere on the filmography sits 'White Nights'. The first screen credit dates from 1942.
