| Occupation | Actor |
Walter Sedlmayr (6 January 1926 - 14 July 1990) was a Bavarian stage, television, and movie actor.
Career
After his 1945 wartime Abitur, Sedlmayr served as a Flakhelfer towards the end of World War II. His acting career began with minor roles with the Münchner Kammerspiele, for which he played more than 25 years, and in numerous Heimatfilme during the 1940s and 1950s.
In 1971, by now a favourite of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Sedlmayr was briefly arrested because a stolen artwork, the Blutenburger Madonna, was found in his house. He was later acquitted of all charges, and the media attention given to his trial helped him gain major roles. His breakthrough came with the leading role in Hans-Jürgen Syberberg's movie Theodor Hirneis oder Wie man ehem. Hofkoch wird. Afterwards, Sedlmayr was cast in numerous popular German TV shows, including Münchner Geschichten, Der Herr Kottnik, Der Millionenbauer and Polizeiinspektion 1; he also frequently appeared on stage and in other media.
Murder
In July 1990, Sedlmayr was found dead and mutilated in his bedroom. It was only then that, through lurid reports in the Munich tabloid press, his homosexuality became a matter of public knowledge. In 1993, two half-brothers and former business associates of Sedlmayr – Manfred L. and Wolfgang W. – were sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Walter Sedlmayr; they were released on parole in 2007 and 2008.
Sedlmayr's life and murder were the subject of the 2001 biopic Wambo by Jo Baier, where he was played by Jürgen Tarrach, and of an episode of the ARD TV series Die großen Kriminalfälle.
