Salka Viertel, a renowned writer and actress, embarked on her remarkable journey on June 15, 1889, in the charming town of Sambor, Galicia, which was then a part of the vast and influential Austria-Hungary, but is now proudly situated in the Lviv Oblast of Ukraine, as the city of Sambir.
Throughout her illustrious career, Salka Viertel made a lasting impact on the world of entertainment, with notable roles in Seven Faces, a cinematic masterpiece released in 1929, Anna Christie, a 1930 production that showcased her impressive acting skills, and Deep Valley, a 1947 film that solidified her position as a talented and versatile performer.
Salka Viertel's personal life was equally as fascinating, as she was married to the esteemed Berthold Viertel, a union that brought joy and fulfillment to both parties.
Tragically, Salka Viertel's life came to a close on October 20, 1978, in the picturesque Swiss town of Klosters, where she had spent her final days surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Swiss Alps.
