Winnie Markus (1921–2002) was a Czechoslovakia-born German film and television actress.
Winnie Markus was born in Czechoslovakia in 1921. She moved to Vienna from Prague and trained in the Max Reinhardt Seminar.
Markus began her career with Wien-Film in 1939 during the Nazi period, starring in Mutterliebe, directed by Gustav Ucicky, the illegitimate son of Gustav Klimt. She was considered to embody the Deutsches Fraulein - blonde hair, delicate features, and an air of innocence rather than overt sex appeal.
