She grew up in an artistic environment – her mother was the actress Christine von Bukovics, her father the singer Gustav Geiringer – and therefore she also chose an artistic profession.

She only appeared rarely in the film business – her first movie role was for the production „Don Juan“ (19) directed by Edmund Löwe with Maria Mayen and Hugo Held. It followed the silent movie „Elixiere des Teufels“ (20), again directed by Edmund Löwe at the side of Karl Elfeld, Julius Strobl, Fritz Spira, Anton Weidinger and Hugo Held. After a longer interruption she returned to the big screen with the sound film „Die unruhigen Mädchen/Finale“ (38) directed by Geza von Bolvary with Käthe von Nagy, Elfriede Datzig, Hans Moser, Hans Holt, Lucie Englisch, Ilse Werner, Theo Lingen, Ferdinand Mayerhofer and Karl Skraup. At the end of World War II Grete von Bukovics was arrested because of demoralising statements against the Wehrmacht till to the end of the war.
