Beside it she became also popular as an interpreter of so-calles Altwiener songs which often had a comical content.

Blanka Glossy only took part in movies rarely, among others in "Leise flehen meine Lieder" (33) directed by Willi Forst. In this movie she played the landlady at the side of Hans Jaray, Martha Eggerth, Luise Ullrich, Hans Moser and Otto Tressler.
