Christine Schorn (born February 1, 1944 in Prague ) is a German actress .
Life
Christine Schorn is the third child of the actor couple Peter Schorn and Alice Marianne Emilie Schorn, née Scheimer (stage name: Elisabeth von Wielander ). After fleeing from Prague via Salzburg , Christine Schorn first grew up in Kiel and from the beginning of the 1950s in Berlin. At the age of 16 she decided to take up her parents' profession and applied to drama school. Since she was initially rejected as too young, she worked as a laundress and saleswoman and then studied at the State Drama School in East Berlin from 1961 to 1964 .
Immediately after completing her studies, she had great success in 1963 together with Dieter Mann at the Deutsches Theater in the play Unterwegs by the Soviet author Viktor Rosow . She is still engaged at this theater to this day, where she played, among others, Recha in Nathan the Wise , Alkmene in Hacks' Amphitryon , Lady Milford in Cabal and Love , Jelena in Uncle Vanya and the title role in García Lorcas Doña Rosita remains single and the Duchess of Friedland in Schiller's Wallenstein . From 1973 to 1980 she took a break from the theater for private reasons and also gave birth to her daughter.
Christine Schorn was also frequently used on television and in 1968 she received the GDR National Prize, First Class for Art and Literature, for her portrayal of the engineer Bolzin in Zeit ist Glück .
In the films Nachtspiele (1978) and, above all, Die Beunruhigung (1982), she was able to prove her acting qualities as the leading actress. In 1986 she received the National Prize, 2nd class, as part of the actors' collective for the television film Ernst Thälmann .
Schorn became known to a younger audience through the Defa fairy tale films Die Gänsehirtin am Brunnen (1979) and Rapunzel or the magic of tears (1988). Both films were made under the direction of Ursula Schmenger .
After the fall of the Wall , she continued her career and was mainly seen in TV series such as Polizeiruf 110 and at the theater. She became known to the pan-German audience at the latest with the satirical television series Wir sind auch nur ein Volk (1994), which poked fun at the problems of the reunified Germans, as a leading female role alongside Manfred Krug . After that she had a share in the success of the award-winning film Good Bye, Lenin! (2003) and was awarded the German Film Prize 2008 for her supporting role as the alcoholic mother of three adult daughters in Franziska Meletzky's Frei nach Plan (2008) . Schorn was once again honored with the German Film Prize as best supporting actress in 2013 for her performance as the cancer- stricken mother of Wotan Wilke Möhring in André Erkau's tragic comedy Life is not for cowards . In May 2016 she received the “ Golden Ox - Honorary Award of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Film Festival” for her life's work , Dietmar Hochmuth gave the laudatory speech .
Schorn is married and lives in Berlin.
