Alexander Moissi was born on April 2, 1879 in Trieste, Austria-Hungary. He was an actor and director, known for Die Königsloge (1929), Der junge Goethe (1919) and Figaro házassága (1920). He was married to Johanna Terwin and Marie Urfus.

They had one daughter, Beate Moissi, (born1908 ). Alexander Moissi had another daughter with Herta Hambach, Bettina Moissi (born 1923). Bettina would later marry the Jewish American art collector Heinz Berggruen in 1959. One of their two children, Nicolas Berggruen, is a billionaire financier and art collector.

Streets are named after Alexander Moissi in Berlin, Salzburg and Vienna, where also a monument was unveiled in 2005.
