Karin Feddersen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karin Feddersen (born April 22, 1942 in Stuttgart ) is a former photo model and actress .

Live and act

Karin Feddersen made a name for herself as a photo model in the mid-1960s and had already adorned several magazine covers when she was first brought in front of a cinema camera for the unconventional society satire Wilder Reiter GmbH . From then on, the tall blonde was cast in all sorts of second-rate films until the early 1970s and was regularly cast with parts as an attractive eye-catcher. A tiny Hollywood film appearance at the side of Dean Martin and Senta Berger in 1967 as well as cinematic excursions to Italy and the Netherlands also had no lasting consequences.

By the beginning of the 1970s, Karin Feddersen had largely disappeared from the film business. During this decade, she worked again regularly as a model and, as the glamor girl of the Munich Society, made headlines in the tabloid media. In October 1973 she appeared in the British edition of Vogue and in August 1976 in the German edition of Playboy . In January 1981 she graced the cover of the men's magazine Lui (German edition). In order to continue working in the modeling industry as a model over the age of 30, she underwent all kinds of cosmetic surgery, as Spiegel reported in its issue no.39 on page 242 in 1976 .

At that time, Karin Feddersen made a name for herself above all with her private life. At the beginning of 1978 she married the Swiss banker Giovanni Mahler on the beach in Acapulco , and one year later, on January 24, 1979, the 36-year-old hit the headlines with a jump from the fourth floor of her Munich apartment. While the press suspected a suicide attempt , Feddersen stated that he had a high fever and, on top of that, lovesickness that day. In 1982 Karin Feddersen divorced her husband again. In addition to these private problems, there were also more and more financial worries. Gunter Sachs, who is well known with her and the columnist Michael Graeter, is said to have helped Feddersen, meanwhile a "first class social case" (according to Michael Graeter), financially on several occasions. When she opened an aerobics studio in 1983, she was also out of luck.

In the new millennium one hardly heard anything from Karin Feddersen, the Berliner Kurier called her in an article ( The lost life of Karin F. ) from June 5, 2011, a meanwhile “confused woman”.
