The actress Grete Lundt first worked as an office worker but already took singing and dancing lessons beside it and finally she even got acting lessons by the famous actress Gertrud Arnold.
When her engagement diminished furthermore she fled to the then fashionable drug morphine. In a moment of an emotional depression she committed suicide on New Year's Eve 1926 by an overdose of morphine in the train from Frankfurt to Berlin.
Her much demanding film career came to a halt from 1920 and she appeared more often on stages, among others at the cabaret "Die Rampe" of Rosa Valetti.
