==Career== Born in Berlin in 1922, she was the daughter of popular stage and film actors [[Heinrich Schroth]] and [[Käthe Haack]]. Her older half-brother was actor and film director [[Carl-Heinz Schroth]] (1902–1989), who was the product of Schroth's father's earlier marriage to Else Ruttersheim.
Schroth began her career as a child actress, and made her film debut at the age of nine in 1931's [[Max Ophüls]]' comedy ''Dann schon lieber Lebertran'' opposite her mother. Until age sixteen she attended drama school in [[Lausanne]], [[Switzerland]]. Her early film successes include ''Spiel im Sommerwind'' (1938), ''Weisser Flieder'' (1939) and ''[[Kitty and the World Conference]]'' (1939), the latter of which was her first leading role.<ref>[http://www.cyranos.ch/smscrt-e.htm Cyranos.com]</ref>
During [[World War II]], Hannelore Schroth continued performing in films. Unlike her father, Heinrich Schroth, who was by then appearing in [[Nazi Party|Nazi]] [[propaganda films]] such as the notorious 1940 [[anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]] ''[[Jud Süß (1940 film)|Jud Süß]]'', she avoided overtly political films, such as her appearance in 1945's romantic drama ''[[Under the Bridges]]''. After the war, she continued her work extensively in film and returned to the theatre, with engagements in [[Vienna]], [[Düsseldorf]], [[Hamburg]], Berlin and [[Munich]].
In addition to theatre and appearing in German films as an actress, in the 1950s Schroth began a career as a voice actress, [[Dubbing (filmmaking)|dubbing]] many English language films into German. These include [[Jane Wyman]]'s character of Carolina Hill in ''[[Just for You (1952 film)|Just for You]]'' (1952), [[Shirley MacLaine]] in ''[[Irma La Douce]]'' (1963), [[Elizabeth Taylor]]'s role as Martha in ''[[Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (film)|Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?]]'' (1966) and [[Ingrid Bergman]]'s role as [[Golda Meir]] in ''[[A Woman Called Golda]]'' (1982).<ref>[http://www.synchronkartei.de/index.php?action=show&type=talker&id=615 Deutsche Synchronkartei]</ref>
In her later years, Schroth began appearing on West German television, as well as appearing on stage and in film.
