- Eva Ingeborg Scholz studied acting under Hilde Körber at the renowned Max Reinhardt academy and appeared on the Berlin stage between 1947 and 1953. After moving to Munich she became an ensemble member of the Münchner Kammerspiele where she covered both comedic and dramatic assignments. Though diminutive and rather unimposing in stature, she had expressive eyes, and, as it turned out, possessed a strong on-screen presence. Scholz made her film debut in 1947 and was already afforded star status in just her second picture (playing the titular heroine in One, Two, Three: Corona (1948), a post-war love story with a circus setting, filmed at Ufa's Babelsberg studio). During the following decade, Scholz alternated leading roles in light comedies and operettas (Stips (1951), Pension Schöller (1952), Ball im Savoy (1955)) with high profile supporting parts in drama where she did her best acting in films with a wartime theme, notably 08/15 (1954), The Devil's General (1955) and Urlaub auf Ehrenwort (1955).
From the early 60s until her retirement in 2018, Scholz acted mainly on the small screen, often in maternal parts, or as aunts, neighbours or dowagers. At the end of her career, she was awarded the prestigious Deutscher Schauspielpreis for a supporting guest role in the popular crime series Tatort (1970). Scholz was also a prolific voice-over actress, dubbing for stars like Angela Lansbury, Elsa Lanchester, Gladys Cooper and Kathryn Grayson. She provided the voice for Disney's Cinderella (1950) in the animated feature.
Eva Ingeborg Scholz was married twice: her first husband was the actor Wilfried Seyferth, her second the well-known author and screenwriter Georg Hurdalek.
