Filmography
Filmography
It was during those years that she had her greatest successes on the stage in plays such as Goethe's Faust (Gretchen), Shakespeare's Hamlet (Ophelia), and Ibsen's A Doll's House (Nora). In 1944, Gold went to Zürich, and in 1947 she returned to Vienna, where she played at the Burgtheater. Gold's stage career prevented her from appearing in many movies. On TV she played Linda opposite Heinz Rühmann in a 1968 German language version of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. She also had two guest appearances in the TV series, Der Kommissar.
