DONATH, LUDWIG
DONATH, LUDWIG (1900–1967), U.S. stage and screen actor. Born in Vienna, Donath became well known in pre-Hitler Germany and Austria in supporting roles. Later he was active in the anti-Nazi underground. He fled to the U.S. in 1940. In Hollywood, his mid-European accent typed him for Nazi roles, notably as the Fuehrer in The Strange Death of Adolf Hitler (1943). His talent soon brought him other parts: as Al Jolson's father in The Jolson Story (1947) and the psychiatrist in the Broadway success, A Far Country (1961).
