Life

The native Viennese Gaby Fuchs was discovered at the age of 17 and immediately brought in front of the camera. From the beginning, Fuchs played seductive girls and the endangered innocence of service. She became known suddenly through her participation in two horror films that later became cult film status: Witches tormented to the blood and the night of the vampires filmed in Spain , where she played a student looking for a legendary vampire at the side of her German colleague Barbara Capell of the same age . Every now and then, as in the first-mentioned film, in which Gaby Fuchs' character had to endure a myriad of severe tortures - among other things, her tongue was torn out of her mouth and then she was burned at the stake - her roles required her also nudity. For example, Gaby Fuchs played as Sleeping Beauty in the soft sex fairy tale Grimm's fairy tale of lustful couples written by Rolf Thiele . In the zeitgeist melodrama Butterflies Don't Cry , she had to seduce Siegfried Wischnewski, who is almost 30 years her senior . After another soft sex film, the Swedish production Jorden runt med Fanny Hill , which was partly shot in Germany , Gaby Fuchs' film career was over for the time being.

At the same time, in the early 1970s, Gaby Fuchs also took on one or two engagements from Berlin boulevard stages and played in pieces such as the farce How about it, Mrs. Markham . Occasionally she was also seen in television productions ( Tatort , Rendezvous am Rhein ). In an interview in the seven-minute short film Burn, Gaby, Burn! - the title is based on the US distribution title of her witch film, which ran there as Burn, Witch, Burn - the actress, who now works as a dubbing editor, gave information about her work on witches in 2004 .
