Born on July 14, 1904, in the historic city of Temesvar, which is now part of Romania, specifically the Timis region, with the city of Timisoara serving as its capital, Zita Johann entered the world during a time when the Austro-Hungarian Empire still held sway.
This talented actress left an indelible mark on the world of cinema, starring in a diverse range of films, including the 1932 classic, The Mummy, which has since become a cult favorite among horror enthusiasts. Her impressive filmography also includes The Sin of Nora Moran, released in 1933, as well as Luxury Liner, another 1933 production.
Zita Johann's personal life was marked by three significant marriages. Her first husband was Bernard Edward Shedd, whose surname was sometimes listed as Schetnitz. Her second spouse was John McCormick, with whom she shared a deep and abiding connection. Her third and final husband was the renowned actor and director, John Houseman.
Sadly, Zita Johann's life came to a close on September 20, 1993, in the charming town of Nyack, located in the state of New York, USA.
