German actress Susanne Lothar, whose credits include Michael Haneke's Palme d'Or winner "The White Ribbon" (2009) and Stephen Daldry's Oscar-winning "The Reader" (2008), died Wednesday. She was 51. No other details have been provided. Lothar was one of the most celebrated German character actors of her generation. At the German Film Awards, the local equivalent of the Oscars, she received four best actress nominations, winning once, in 1983, for her debut performance as Marga Schroth in Tankred Dorst's "Eisenhans" (1983). The actress was a favorite of Haneke, who cast her alongside her husband Ulrich Muhe as the parents of a family besieged by a pair of psychopaths in "Funny Games" (1997). Muhe, best-known for his starring role in the Oscar-winning drama "The Lives of Others," died of cancer in 2007. Lothar also appeared alongside Isabelle Huppert in Haneke's "The Piano Teacher" (2001) and as The Midwife in "The White Ribbon," which received an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language film.
