life and work
Anneliese Uhlig was born as the daughter of the opera singer Margarete Maschmann and the stage actor Kurt Uhlig . After her parents separated, she lived with her mother in Essen , Dortmund , Leipzig and Braunschweig . In 1937 she went to Berlin , took acting lessons at the Peter Reimann Academy and at the same time trained as a fashion illustrator. In the same year she made her debut in Calderón's Der Richter von Zalamea at the Berlin Schillertheater and - with the female leading roles in two Tobis films directed by Carmine Gallone - also in film. In 1939/40 the actress, who was of classic beauty, appeared in four detective films in which she embodied charming, but enigmatic and suspicious women. In the film The Curtain Is Falling it actually turns out that the elegant beauty has committed a murder out of jealousy. In the propaganda film Blood Brotherhood (1941) produced by Terra and teeming with classic fascist themes , she plays a nurse who is courted by two dissimilar friends.
In the early days of the Second World War , Anneliese Uhlig was also employed in the troop support and dangled in Dutch, French, Polish and Russian front theaters. After a conflict with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels , she went to Italy in 1942 - as did Lída Baarová a year later - where she appeared in five other films and, after Mussolini's temporary disempowerment, worked as an interpreter for his family in July 1943. In 1944 she returned to Germany - doing military service - and continued her career with films such as Der Majoratsherr , Harald and soloist Anna Alt leave at nine . In the last-mentioned film, a married drama staged by Werner Klingler in the musician milieu, she showed her most mature performance.
After the end of the Second World War , Anneliese Uhlig's film appearances became rare, but since the 1950s she has repeatedly played theater in Germany, and since the 1970s she has repeatedly appeared in German television productions.
Anneliese Uhlig began her second professional career after the end of the war with the US Special Service in Salzburg , for whom she produced and directed films. From 1946 to 1967 she worked as a foreign correspondent in Italy, Austria and the USA and wrote political articles and reports that were published in American and German newspapers and on the radio. She moved to the USA in 1948 and later acquired her citizenship there. As editor of the Alexandria / Virginia based newspaper Alexandria Gazette , she reported from the White House, among others . From 1960 to 1964 she also worked as a theater producer in Alexandria. From 1963 to 1965 she worked at the Thammasat University in Bangkok as a lecturer in drama and German. In 1989 she was awarded the Cross of Merit l. Class of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany honored.
Anneliese Uhlig was married to the actor Kurt Waitzmann in her first marriage since 1939 . After the divorce, she entered into another marriage with the American first lieutenant and art historian Douglas B. Tucker . She was the mother of one son and lived in Santa Cruz, California . She died there on June 17, 2017 at the age of 98.
