Alexander Hegarth
Alexander Hegarth (born July 26, 1923 in Dresden , † November 14, 1984 in Gummersbach ) was a German actor .
Life
After taking acting lessons with Rudolf Vogel , Hegarth made his debut in the 1947/48 season at the Stadttheater von Konstanz at the side of René Deltgen and Inge Conradi . He was then committed to Baden-Baden until 1952 , where he also worked as a spokesman for Südwestfunk . This was followed by a two-year commitment to the municipal theaters of Gelsenkirchen and finally, in autumn 1955, a further commitment to Lübeck , where he was also allowed to work as a director for the first time. There he staged, for example, Arthur Watkyn's play In the good and in the bad days . In 1958 he was brought to the Volksbühne in Berlin . He also took part in the theater festival in Wunsiedel and played cabaret on small provincial theaters . His late stage stops include the Münchner Kammerspiele under the direction of August Everding and the United Municipal Theaters of Krefeld - Mönchengladbach .
Freelance from 1966, the passionate hobby chef has received numerous roles in film and television. Hegarth's role was mostly the elegant man of the world; always like peeled from the egg and slightly snobbish in attitude and habitus. As a result, he was the ideal cast for any form of bon vivant and bon vivant in tabloid comedies, which he played both on television and on stage. Hegarth has also been cast several times in crime novels (such as the three-part series The Death Runs Behind , the Tatort series and the Old Man series ) as a slightly opaque and by no means always sympathetic, blasé businessman and arrogant representative of the upper class.
In addition to this mostly light TV diet, Hegarth also impressed with a considerable number of ambitious TV productions with a historical background (so-called documentary plays): Maximilian von Mexico, The Death of Engelbert Dollfuss, The Röhm-Putsch, The Police Minister, Report of an Offensive, Trotsky - Death in Exile and The Red Chapel . In addition, he also worked in literary adaptations prepared for television ( Othello, Tartuffe or Der Betrüger ).
Hegarth died of heart failure in his hotel room during a theater tour.
