life and career

In 1980, at the age of five, Radost Bokel moved with her mother and brother from their hometown Halle (Saale) to Frankfurt am Main , after their mother had applied for an exit visa from the GDR . Her Slavic first name comes from her Bulgarian-born father, whom she never met. In Frankfurt Bokel did her Abitur at the Schillerschule grammar school . At this time she gained her first stage experience: she spent the afternoons in a day nursery, with whom she appeared as Eliza in My Fair Lady and as Mowgli in the Jungle Book at performances in old people's homes.

At the age of nine, Bokel applied to a casting to cast the title role for the film adaptation of the Michael Ende classic, Momo . The casting took place in Frankfurt-Höchst in the house of Rosemarie Fendel , who worked on the script, as did Michael Ende himself. Bokel, the youngest among thousands of applicants, got the role and spent three and a half months in the Italian film city of Cinecittà in Rome in 1985 , where the movie with John Huston , Mario Adorf , Armin Mueller-Stahl and others was shot in English. Fendel was at her side as an acting coach and mentor throughout the entire filming period. For the role of Momo, which Bokel first made known to the general public, she was awarded the Bambi (1986), the François Truffaut Prize (1986) and the Bravo Otto in bronze (1986), among others .

In 1986, Bokel played in the movie adaptation of Johannes Mario Simmel's Please let the flowers live alongside Klausjürgen Wussow and Hannelore Elsner, little disabled Patty. Another cinema production followed in 1997 with Das Erste Semester , in which Christian Kahrmann also participated.

In 1987 she stood at the side of actors such as Andie MacDowell , Michael York and Ben Kingsley , who played her father, in the international adventure series The Secret of the Sahara in Morocco in front of the camera. Many other roles in television productions followed, including in the years 1988/1989 in the series Rivalen der Rennbahn , for which Bokel shot with Thomas Fritsch and Jutta Speidel . She also worked in various crime series with, for example, in Tatort , Der Fahnder , Wolffs Revier , SOKO Kitzbühel and from 2007 to 2011 at Rainer Hunold's side in Der Staatsanwalt .

In January 2012, Bokel was a participant in the sixth season of the RTL reality show Ich bin ein Star - Get me out of here! and took 7th place. In summer 2012 she played the role of Winnetou's sister Nscho-chi at the Karl May Festival in Elspe .

In addition to her work as an actress, Bokel was already active as a speaker in 1986, lending her voice to the girl Roskva in the Danish cartoon Walhalla . This was later followed by the audio books Windträume by the German screenwriter and writer Jando and Cathy's Book by the American-Canadian author Sean Stewart . Since 2013 she has been touring Germany with a Momo reading , supported by fellow actor Jean-Marc Birkholz . In 2004 Bokel published the single Frei zu sein and received, as in 1997 in MAX magazine (June issue), a photo series in FHM magazine (November 2004 issue). Another series of photos followed in 2008 in Maxim (December issue) and in 2013 in Playboy (September issue).

From her marriage to the American soul singer Tyler Woods in 2008 , she has a son who was born in 2009. The marriage was divorced in 2015.

Bokel lives in Rodgau in Hesse .
