Portrait: Cornelia Froboess is a phenomenon – Politics – Politics News

Cornelia Froboess had an extraordinary career. The singing teenage idol has achieved a second career as a great actress.

Of course, it is also possible: pay tribute to Cornelia Froboess and remember her success on stage. "The theater was a dream for me," said the actress. She has also completed this task successfully. Minna von Barnhelm of Lessing, Lulu of Wedekind, Courage, mother of Brecht, and many other roles of women, it was one thing. The broken guys with broken biographies were the other.

So there was enough material for the reporting pages when it came to clbadifying the Froboess and wondering why Ibsen and Strindberg were so particular with her. Critics liked to ignore the fact that she had a wonderful past as a teenage idol.

Hit? It was not a culture. In fact, almost no one had convinced the "Conny" to become a brilliant theater actress. Because Conny was in the years of economic miracle the queen of teenagers heart. Friendly for her appearance, she sang – at a little over 15 – at the skirt "Chic, Chic Shoe", "I Love Baby" or "Jolly Joker", where it says: "In love today, saddened tomorrow, who knows us already life? "

The mothers were rebadured. Even one of his sons could go out with such a girl without getting hurt. It was not a dangerous Bardot with a pout, but it looked like that bakery saleswoman who had painted a mole on her cheek because Conny had one too.

Cornelia Froboess is 75 years old: "It's good to see wrinkles"

And dancing like Conny wanted a lot, even with a variant of Peter Kraus skimmed milk. The principle of Conny is inscribed in the continuity of the "little Cornelia" who, in 1951, salutes the success of Wannsee in the film "The swimsuit". But already in the early sixties, Cornelia was no longer comfortable with a stereotypical working hymn of the type "Two little Italians".

In 1963, the qualified actress of the Salzburg Landestheater made her debut as a chambermaid in the "Outskirts" of Frantisek Langer. In 1972 she followed Hellmuth Matiasek to Munich, where she belonged to the entire cabinet of the Munich Kammerspiele for nearly 30 years. Until she moved to the Bavarian national theater in 2001. Cornelia Froboess had married the director and director Matiasek in 1967. This Sunday, the mother of two who lives near Wendelstein will turn 75 years old. And she likes to watch her fans on TV, who particularly like her as a commoner.

In both films "Almuth and Rita", she is the rumbling "plaster" (her original Rita), which brings back the lonely-solitary Almuth played by Senta Berger. "I'm pretty surprised," says Cornelia Froboess in the face of complaints from older colleagues, "many substances do not just play the role of thin grandmothers." And she admits at the age: "It's nice to see the wrinkles and that the face lives – or has lived."
