Neda Spasojević (16 April 1941 – 16 July 1981) was a Serbian film, television and theater actress. She appeared in more than sixty films from 1964 until her 1981 death from cancer at age 40.

Early life

[edit]

Neda Spasojević was born in the Yugoslav capital city Belgrade the week that the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was invaded by Germany in April 1941. Her father Milorad was a traveling actor. Her mother was an Austrian woman from Vienna named Hilda Lermer, who later adopted the Serbian name Jelena.[1] Hilda worked as a seamstress for various theaters.

Career

[edit]

Following a rejection at the Performing Arts Academy in Belgrade, Spasojević took her father's advice about moving to Titograd, SR Montenegro if she wished to pursue a career in acting. She performed in her first show on 23 March 1961.[2] Spasojević appeared in her first film in 1964, acting alongside Danilo Stojković in Izdajnik.

Death

[edit]

Spasojević was diagnosed with cancer in early 1981. She died from cancer on 16 July 1981, aged 40, a few weeks after completing her scenes for the film Banović Strahinja.[3]
