Born Ottilie Godefroy, she trained in Vienna, her
native town and got her first engagement in
Breslau. Later she worked with Max Reinhardt
and Erwin Piscator in Berlin.

In 1904, Durieux married the Berlin Secession
painter Eugen Spiro, and after their divorce, she
remarried in 1910 the successful art dealer and
editor Paul Cassirer, who committed suicide in a
room next to the court room that pronounced her
divorce. Durieux remarried soon afterwards
Ludwig Katzenellenbogen. In 1933 she left Germany
for Switzerland to escape Nazi rule. In 1937 she
moved to Zagreb (then in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia)
where she remained until 1953
