Helene Weigel was born on May 12, 1900 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary.

Like Bertolt Brecht, Helene Weigel was politically committed and joined the Communist Party in 1930. When the National Socialists seized power the couple emigrated with their children to Switzerland; after that they went via Scandinavia to the USA.
As she was Jewish and her husband Bertolt Brecht an opponent of the Nazis, they fled Germany in 1933 and finally settled down in the US in 1941. They returned to Europe in 1947 because Brecht was considered to be a communist.
Helene Weigel had a minor role in the movie "The Seventh Cross" in 1944.
In 1948 she went back to Germany where she founded the Berliner Ensemble in East Berlin together with Bertolt Brecht. She was director of this ensemble till her death.

She is known for her work on Mother Courage and Her Children (1961), Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder (1955) and Señora Carrar's Rifles (1953). She was married to Bertolt Brecht.
