Biography
Bettina Moissi was born in Berlin on 15 October 1923, the second child of leading stage actor Aleksandër Moisiu. Her father was often branded as Jewish due to his name (which translates as "Moses") and his outspoken defense of his fellow Jewish actors and people during a period of growing antisemitism.[1][2][3][4] She was Catholic but was married to Heinz Berggruen who was Jewish.[5]
Personal life
In 1960, she married the art collector Heinz Berggruen. He predeceased her in 2007.[6] They had two children:[7]
- Olivier Berggruen, curator at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Germany
- Nicolas Berggruen, a financier and art collector
Moissi died in Zurich on 21 November 2023, at the age of 100.[8]
