Upon completing her studies at the Academy, Gobbi was contracted with the National Theater in 1935 and began participating in many productions. To continue her education, Gobbi was able to secure loans and enter the National Theater Academy as a scholarship student, attending from 1932 to 1935. Going on to university, she enrolled in botany classes at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University, and worked in the university's botanical garden. Gobbi attended the Erzsébet Szilágyi Gymnasium and then attended the Putnoki School of Economics for Women's Higher Education ( Hungarian: Putnoki Gazdasági Felső Leánynevelő Intézetben). For a time, the couple separated and Gobbi and her mother were homeless. When she was a child, her family was well-to-do, as her father ran a paper-towel factory, but they became impoverished due to his gambling and spending money on other women. Her paternal grandfather was Alois Gobbi, a noted violinist, who would later become the conductor of the National Conservatory. Hilda Emília Gizella Gobbi was born on 6 June 1913 in Budapest, which at the time was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to German-born, Margit (née Schneckenburger) and the Italian Hussar-turned industrialist, Ede Gobbi. Committed to her craft, she founded the Árpád Horváth Actor's College (1947), a home to care for elderly actors named after Mari Jászai (1948), a second actor's home named after Árpád Ódry (1950), the Gizi Bajor Actor's Museum (1952), and bequeathed her Patkó Villa to the National Theater for the purposes of creating a theater. A resistance member during World War II, she attempted to facilitate the reconstruction of the National Theatre by sponsoring a fundraising drive. One of her most beloved performances was as Aunt Szabo in the radio soap opera The Szabo Family. Hilda Emília Gizella Gobbi (6 June 1913 – 13 July 1988) was an award-winning Hungarian actress, known for her portrayals of elderly women.
