Trivia
Gaunt character actor, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in Vienna. Donath had a distinguished career on the stages of Vienna and Berlin, before leaving Nazi Germany in 1933. He arrived in Hollywood via Switzerland and England. In films from 1942, he was often typecast as Nazis. Donath was briefly blacklisted in the 1950's for alleged left-wing connections, but resumed steady television work in 1957 for the remaining ten years of his life.
