About

Erika Pluhar is an Austrian actress, singer, and author, born on 28 February 1939 in Vienna. She is the daughter of Anna and Dr Josef Pluhar. Pluhar's younger sister, Ingeborg G. Pluhar, is a painter and sculptor. Erika Pluhar is not related to Austrian musician Christina Pluhar.

After finishing school in 1957 Pluhar studied at Max Reinhardt Seminar, the Viennese academy for music and the performing arts, graduating with distinction in 1959. She immediately went into acting at Burgtheater, the former imperial court theatre. She was a member of the Burgtheater acting troupe for forty years, until 1999.
At the beginning of the 1970s Erika Pluhar embarked on a singing and songwriting career. In 1981 the diarist's first book length publication appeared. (The list below is incomplete.)
Erika Pluhar was married twice (to Udo Proksch, a businessman who was convicted of the murder of six people, and to André Heller, Austrian poet and all-rounder artist). She had a daughter, Anna (1961–1999), who died from asthma.
