The actress Charlotte Susa was born as Charlotte Wegmüller. 
She began her career as singer for operas and operettas before she was spotted for the film business by director Richard Eichberg. 
She made her film debut in 1926 with the movie "Der Prinz und die Tänzerin", it followed other silent movies like "Die Pflicht zu schweigen" (27), "Arme kleine Colombine" (27), "Du sollst nicht stehlen" (28), "Sünde und Moral" (29) and "Erotikon" (29).

Because of her trained voice she didn't have any difficulties to be successful in the talkies. She had great successes as vamp with movies like "Der Tiger" (30), "Zwei Menschen" (30), "Der Greifer" (30), "Die Pranke" (31), "Unter falscher Flagge" (32), "Henker, Frauen und Soldaten" (35), "Wasser für Canitoga" (39) at Hans Albers' side and finally "Der Gasmann" (41) with Heinz Rühmann. 
This movie was her last work for the screen. Because of her differences with Joseph Goebbels she didn't get any role offers in Nazi Germany.

After the war she acted again for the theater, often at her husband Andrews Engelmann's side.
