Mother of Stefan Hurdalek (b. 1951, with Georg Hurdalek) and Katharina Seyferth (b. 1954, with Winfried Seyferth).

Among her later films are the Disney production Emil and the Detectives (1964), in which she played the mother of the title character, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder's The American Soldier (1970).

From the early 1960s she appeared increasingly in television, where she remained active until the age of 90 years in 2018.

Eva Ingeborg Scholz made her debut in the title role of the 1948 film 1-2-3 Corona and appeared regularly in films over the following decade, including a performance as a young lodger in Peter Lorre's only directorial effort The Lost One (1951) and a supporting role in The Devil's General (1955) with Curd Jürgens.

She studied at the Max-Reinhardt-Schule, directed by Hilde Körber, and then played from 1947 to 1950 at the Schlosspark Theater and the Renaissance-Theater in Berlin.

In the 1940s she was engaged in various Berlin theaters and then became a member of the ensemble at the Munich Kammerspiele.

Along with her daughter, actress Katharina Seyferth, she leaves behind a son: Stefan Hurdalek additionally works as an actor too.

Her second husband Wilfried Seyferth died in a car accident in 1954.

She was never a vain actress, but will be remembered as a down-to-earth, life-hungry woman. In that way she rose to become a sought-after supporting actress in German post-war cinema.

Scholz also worked as a voice actress and provided the German voice of Disney's Cinderella.

In 2018, she won the Deutscher Schauspielpreis (German Actors Award) for her supporting role in the Tatort episode Die Liebe, ein seltsames Spiel (2017).
