biography
Barbara Valentin was born as the daughter of the film architect Hans Ledersteger and the actress Irmgard Alberti . After attending an acting school, she was discovered for the film by the film producer Wolf C. Hartwig in the late 1950s . In her first film You Belong to Me (1958) she played a party girl in suspenders. Because of her lush bust, she was known as the "breast miracle" and the " sex bomb ". Appointed "scandal noodle" by her numerous, partly fictitious affairs with famous, rich men, Valentin lived an extremely permissive and dissolute life for representatives of her generation.
It was only through the collaboration with the director Rainer Werner Fassbinder that Valentin finally became a character actress. She starred in the literary adaptation of Theodor Fontane's Effi Briest , in Fear Eating Souls by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the relationship drama Martha , and in Lili Marleen as well as in the award-winning future vision Welt am Draht . In 1995 she left the filming of Christoph Schlingensief's United Trash and only stood in front of the camera one last time in 2001. In 1997 she had a supporting role in the RTL daily soap Gute Zeiten, Bad Zeiten .
Valentin went through numerous crises in his private life. Her first marriage to a Berlin entrepreneur in 1961 ended in divorce; the son was born in 1963. Her second husband was a lawyer and a daughter was born from the marriage. Her third husband was the film director Helmut Dietl from 1976 to 1983 . In addition, drug problems were repeatedly reported in the press. Among other things, she also had short-term relationships with Rolf Eden .
In the 1980s she lived with Freddie Mercury , singer of the group Queen . She played in the music video for the Queen song It's a Hard Life . After the singer's death in 1991, she became increasingly involved in helping AIDS .
In the meantime, she was also seen in other music videos, such as in 1997 in the video for Thomas D's single Solo and in 2000 in the music video for the single The Chase by Giorgio Moroder vs. Jam & Spoon .
Barbara Valentin lived in Munich's Glockenbachviertel and died after a brain hemorrhage on February 22, 2002 at the age of 61. She was buried in the Ostfriedhof in Munich .
Her son, the journalist Lars Reichardt, published a biography about her in September 2018 under the title Barbara. The strange life of my mother Barbara Valentin .
