Life
Arabella Kiesbauer was born as the daughter of the German theater actress Hannelore Kiesbauer and the Ghanaian mechanical engineer Sammy Ammissah († 1999) and grew up with her grandmother in Vienna. After graduating from the Lycée Français de Vienne , she studied journalism and theater studies. She is a German citizen because of her maternal descent .
She began her television career as a presenter of the ORF youth show X-Large from 1987 to 1993. Since 1991 she has also worked for the German private broadcaster ProSieben (including the magazine Rund um Hollywood ), where she initially worked as an announcer, then from 1994 on with her workday Talk show Arabella was on. In the same year she also released a CD entitled Number One .
On June 9, 1995, as part of a racially motivated series of attacks, a letter bomb attack was carried out on her, in which an assistant was slightly injured. The perpetrator Franz Fuchs was later caught and committed suicide after being convicted.
In July 1995 Kiesbauer could be seen on the cover and in the German edition of Playboy . In 2002 she presented the ORF casting show Starmania for the first time . After the discontinuation of the show Arabella in 2004, she was scheduled as a presenter for the new program Das Geständnis . However, due to differences with the broadcaster about the conceptual content, the two soon ended their collaboration.
Kiesbauer played an important role as a representative of the broadcast format of the "loud" afternoon talk show, which polarized the audience. First, she was awarded the Bavarian TV Prize for the unconventional talk show, which - instead of celebrities - had average people as guests ; but the show was later criticized as being level.
In Switzerland she is also known as a model for Vögele Shoes and as a jury member of Music Star .
