Katrin Sass
Katrin Sass (meanwhile: Saß , born October 23, 1956 in Schwerin ) is a German theater , film and television actress .
Life and professional development
Her mother is the actress Marga Heiden (1921–2013), who became known on GDR television through dialect pieces on the Fritz Reuter stage in Schwerin. At her insistence, Katrin Sass first learned the job of a skilled worker for telephone technology and then went to dress up at a theater. The first application attempt at the Berlin drama school failed, the second in Rostock succeeded.
In 1979, at the age of 23, she made her film debut with the lead role in the film Till Death Do You Part , where she played an early disaffected young wife. Her great career began in the early 1980s. She received the Silver Bear at the 1982 Berlinale in West Berlin for her portrayal in the film Bürgschaft für ein Jahr (1981), shot while she was still a student . Sass herself states that in response to the West German award at the Berlinale, to which she was allowed to travel, she had not received any film roles from the GDR regime for two years. From the mid-1980s, however, she was seen in numerous DEFA films and in 1987 she was named actress of the year in the GDR .
Her theater career began in the early 1980s at the Kleist Theater in Frankfurt (Oder) , in 1981 Peter Sodann brought her to Halle / Saale . An engagement at the Schauspielhaus in Leipzig followed until 1990.
With the exception of the television series Polizeiruf 110 , in which she appeared as Chief Inspector Tanja Voigt from 1993 to 1998 , she had hardly any engagements in the 1990s. Sass suffered since her nineteenth year, and especially after turning to alcohol addiction , which she overcame in 1998 and has addressed the public from 2,001th Due to her addiction, she was terminated in 1998 by the ORB , the broadcasting company producing at the time, her role as a commissioner in Police Call 110 .
According to Sass, she had to have her last name changed to Saß in the GDR . They suspect that the state authorities of the time associated the " Nazi abbreviations" SA and SS with the spelling Sass and therefore banned them. However, your name was also spelled with double S in GDR films and series. In addition, she appeared under the spelling Saß long after the end of the GDR and is also spelled with "ß" in her autobiography Das Glück wird nie alt .
Sass claims to have been spied on by her best friend Sabine since 1987 in revenge and by friends and colleagues who had been recruited as unofficial employees by the Stasi .
With the leading roles in the social drama Heidi M. (2001) and in the international hit Good Bye, Lenin! (2003) she made a comeback on the big screen. In August 2006 she played the role of Celia Peachum in a production of Bertolt Brecht's Threepenny Opera by Klaus Maria Brandauer at the Metropol-Theater Berlin. Since then she has appeared in several television films and series .
In January 2013, Sass came into the focus of attention after she verbally attacked actor and presenter Peer Kusmagk on the talk show Markus Lanz because of his participation in the jungle camp and, according to critics, personally insulted him. The star , whose reporting Sass had also criticized on the same talk show, described their style of discussion as "arrogant schoolmastering" and "below the belt" and compared Sass with Klaus Kinski .
Sass was married to the director Siegfried Kühn from 1991 to 2007 . She lives in Mecklenburg and Berlin .
In 2013 she released the songs that she performed in her role as a singer in the TV series Weissensee under the title Königskinder as an album.
