life and career

Anna Loos, the daughter of a nurse and an engineer, grew up in the GDR and took ballet lessons from the age of six. At the age of thirteen she financed singing lessons with the Bulgarian opera singer Jana Michailowa at the Brandenburg Theater with her pocket money . At the Academy of Music "Hanns Eisler" Loos was rejected because it did not only in clothing style cultivated a punk attitude. As a teenager she played in the punk band Kiss Me Ass .

In 1988 , at the age of 17 , Loos fled with a friend via Czechoslovakia , Hungary and Austria from the GDR to the Federal Republic of Germany. She moved from the Gießen emergency reception center to an aunt in Wedel and attended the Johann-Rist-Gymnasium there up to grade 12. Loos continued her vocal training and played in various bands. With a big band she went on a tour to Canada, among other things .

In Hamburg Loos completed an apprenticeship at the Stage School of Music, Dance and Drama from 1992 . She came to acting through music. In 1993 Loos appeared in comedy shows at the Schmidt Theater . This was followed by participation in the musical Grease ( Imperial Theater , 1994) and with Wasserfest & doppelbödig (1995) and Reiselust (1996) cabaret shows at the Bremen Theater . From 1996 to 1999 she played several talk show guests in the talk show parody TV Kaiser . She made her cinema and television film debuts in the productions Das Mambospiel and Blind Date (both 1998). Loos then appeared regularly on television. She became known to a larger audience through the role of the secretary "Lissy Pütz" in the WDR - Tatort Köln alongside the inspectors Ballauf ( Klaus J. Behrendt ) and Schenk ( Dietmar Bär ).

Loos was able to build on the previous success in 2000 by portraying Gretchen alongside Franka Potente in the German medical thriller Anatomy . In it she was seen as a plastinated victim of the film villain Benno Fürmann . A broad television audience remembered her through the two comedies Hellish Neighbors (1998) and Hellish Neighbors - Only Women Are Worse (2000), in each of which she fought a duel with Esther Schweins . Also in 2000 she received Rita for her performance as rock singer in the TV movie Halt mich fest! at the side of her future husband Jan Josef Liefers the Actor Award of the Baden-Baden TV Film Festival . She sang the title songs for both this production and Anatomie ( My Truth ).

This contrasts with dramas like Kai Wessel's Spreewald thriller: The Secret in the Moor as Sebastian Blomberg's childhood sweetheart. In 2006 Loos played the leading role of Sally Bowles in the Berlin musical production by Cabaret , for which she received critical acclaim.

In the same year she went on tour with the band Silly , for which she had already appeared as a guest singer at the end of 2005, under the name "Silly & Anna Loos" and succeeded the singer Tamara Danz, who died in 1996 . In the meantime Loos has become a permanent member of the band and the appearances are as "Silly". Besides anatomy and hold me tight! she had previously recorded the piece Who Wants to Fall Asleep Without a Lovers' Kissing for the soundtrack of the film Kai Rabe against the Vatican killers .

With Silly Loos played, among other things, the single I say not yes and the album Alles Rot ein (both 2010), with which the band was able to place in the German music charts. With the single Alles Rot , Silly achieved a second place for Saxony-Anhalt when participating in the Bundesvision Song Contest 2010 organized by Stefan Raab . In the same year she appeared at the side of Jan Josef Liefers in the Clemens Wilmenrod television biography It is on my tongue and the drama Böseckendorf - The Night in which a Village Disappeared , which is about a spectacular mass exodus from the GDR. Both the roles of Erika Wilmenrod and Tonia Lantz earned Loos a nomination for the Golden Camera . In 2011 she received the award for her leading role in Tim Trageser's television film Wohin mit Vater? , in which she can be seen as an East German wife and mother who is confronted with the care of her widowed and handicapped father ( Dieter Mann ). She also took part in the Bundesvision Song Contest again in September 2011 , where she took third place this time in a duet with Bosse .

In 2012, the Bavarian TV Prize for Best Actress followed for the TV film The Teacher , for which she again worked with Tim Trageser. In the drama, she was seen as a traumatized teacher who tried to deal with a rampage at her school with her class. In March 2014, ZDF broadcast the first episode of the crime series Helen Dorn , in which Loos plays the title heroine, a commissioner from the North Rhine-Westphalia LKA . In early 2016 she played the lead role in the six-part political drama The City and Power .

In December 2018 it was announced that Silly would henceforth perform without Loos. She herself released her first solo album Toolbox in March 2019.
