Born in Copenhagen on 6 October 1912, Inge Hvid-Møller was the daughter of the high-court attorney Johannes Hvid-Møller (1885–1959) and his wife Elna Johanne Henriette Bentzen (1884–1950). In 1941, she married the actor Hans-Henrik Krause. The marriage was dissolved in 1946. She trained at the Royal Theatre School (1932–34) and made her debut in 1935 as Esther in Henri Nathansen Indenfor Murene (Inside the Walls) in 1936. Hvid-Møller played a number of dark tragic roles in the theatres of Copenhagen and the provinces. After a year with the Dagmarteater, she performed in Aalborg (1937–39) and Aarhus (1939–42) where she played Constance Leth in Kaj Munk's Egelykke. She returned to Copenhagen for the remainder of the German occupation, spending most of her time at the Folketeatret where she played Eliza in George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. In 1946, she was particularly successful as Antigone in Anouilh's play at the Allé-Scenen theatre. From 1950 to 1956, she was engaged by the Frederiksberg Teater where she starred as Prudence in Kameliadamen and took the title roles in Anouilh's plays Jeanne d'Arc and  Medea. In the later 1950s and early 1960s, she devoted most of her time to direction, not only on the stage but also on television and radio. She staged Onkel Vanja at Allé Scenen and Nøgen at Riddersalen, also directing the latter as a TV production. Inge Hvid-Møller died in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen on 18 February 1970.
