The actress and singer Steffi Walidt focused primarily on the stage; film played only a minor role in her career.

She began her stage career in Hamburg, Wiesbaden and Vienna before also impersonating leading roles in Berlin from 1916.
One year later she also appeared in Berlin in the comedy movie "Hoheit Radieschen" (17) with Victor Janson, Hermann Picha, Emil Jannings, Julius Falkenstein, Hugo Flink and Paul Westermeier. In this movie she impersonated the role of Anfania, reigning highness of Markodonien. This was to remain her only film.

She then returned to Vienna, where she became a permanent leading actress over the next few years. She appeared regularly at various Viennese theaters until 1923, before retiring from her active career for four years.

She celebrated her comeback at the Vienna Volksoper in 1927 and then appeared regularly in operettas again before retiring from the stage for good in 1931.
