She wrote some of her works under the pseudonym Andreas Eckbrecht. She was born Regina Wiener on October 21, 1893 in Vienna, Austria. In 1913, she married Viennese musician Josef Zirner, but he died during battle in WWI in 1915. She then married writer Otto Kaus in 1920 and had two sons, Otto and Peter. Her first novel, Der Aufstieg (The Rise), published in 1920, won the Theodor Fontane Prize. She became very active in literary circles in Berlin and Vienna, counting Austrian writers such as Karl Kraus and Otto Soyka amongst her friends. She moved to Paris in March 1938 and wrote two screenplays, from her play Gefängnis ohne Gitter (Prison without Bars) and her novel Die Schwestern Kleeh (The Kleeh Sisters), which were made into the popular 1938 movies Prison sans barreaux and Conflict, both starring Corinne Luchaire. Prison sans barreaux was remade into the British film Prison Without Bars, with Luchaire reprising her original part. In 1939, Prison Without Bars was shown as a BBC live television broadcast, with Nova Pilbeam in the leading role. At the outbreak of WWII in September 1939, Kaus emigrated to the United States, settling in Hollywood, and wrote many scripts. In 1956, her 1940 novel Der Teufel nebenan (Devil Next Door) was made into the film Devil in Silk by director Rolf Hansen, starring Lilli Palmer and Curt Jürgens. She published her autobiography, Und was für ein Leben...mit Liebe und Literatur, Theater und Film, in 1979. Kaus died in Los Angeles, California on December 23, 1985, aged 92.
