Ute Boy-Behrend (born December 30, 1938 in Berlin ; † September 2, 2014 ) was a German actress and television announcer .

life and work

After GCSEs and a successful training as a wholesale clerk Boy graduated at Marlise Ludwig , a study acting .

At the beginning of her career, in 1962, she was for the German-American feature film -Co-production tunnel 28 under the direction Robert Siodmak as supporting actress committed. In 1963 she gained her first stage experience at the Berliner Kammerspiele . In the late summer of 1964 it began twelve years-ending commitment to the vagrants stage in Berlin-Charlottenburg Kantstraße where they Rainer Behrend , the older of the two owner's sons, who not only Ensemble -member was, but also occasionally Director know, and in the Rehearsals for The Lovers in the Underground Train also learned to love.

After their first joint appearance in Anton Pawlowitsch Chekhov's The Marriage Proposal on March 5, 1965, Behrend Boy made one. The couple married on August 3, 1965. Son Florian was born in 1972. In the meantime, Boy used the double name Boy-Behrend or (more rarely) Behrend-Boy.

At the same time as the Vaganten Bühne, which had practically become a family business , especially since her husband had expanded his directorial activities, she had entered into further commitments, albeit only piece contracts , again at the Berlin Kammerspiele in 1965, and also at the Komödie am Kurfürstendamm in autumn 1967 until the summer of 1969 and at the Schauspielhaus Hansa (Berlin Volkstheater) in the 1965/66 season. A three-country tour through what was then the Federal Republic of Germany, Austria and Switzerland made her famous outside Berlin between February and April 1969. In addition to Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff, she gave the puetz in Carl Zuckmayer's Des Teufels General . The television recording of the comedy Two Clueless Angels directed by Wolfgang Spier , which took place shortly afterwards and in which she embodied the role of Rose Allan, did the rest. In the same year she met Heinz Schmidt-Faber, the director of the Free Berlin station, at a birthday party . He had spontaneously invited her to a camera test for a program speaker job, which she had initially considered to be a "charming compliment". It was not until a former school friend, the already established announcer Renate Bauer , followed up that he moved Boy to audition at Schmidt-Faber in 1970. Then everything happened very quickly, because just ten days after her application, on a Monday in October 1970, she had her first assignment in the morning program of the ARD . And in the new year, she was already leading through the SFB's morning program at regular intervals. She was entrusted with moderating the regional broadcasts the evening before in May. Finally, she was allowed to make her debut on the Saturday program of ARD on December 4, 1971 at 2:10 p.m. However, she remained a freelancer, i.e. without a permanent employment contract.

One year after leaving the "Vaganten", she filmed the crime scene episode Feuerzauber under Fritz Umgelter at Günter Pfitzmann's side . In 1983 she was also involved in the company of well-known colleagues such as Judy Winter and Wolfgang Kieling in Gottfried von Einem's radio play production for RIAS Fix undready , which has since been broadcast several times by various broadcasters affiliated with ARD.

She ran an artist pension for a while .

Quotes to Boy

On The Bear (Chekhov, March 1965):

"The director kept the spirited duel going with shot and kiss so pleasantly ironically that you almost forgot how bland the attractive Ute Boy actually played her widow role."

“Ute Boy plays the first stepped, then combative, scratchy and finally surrendering beauty really very skillfully and pretty; it also looks like cut from a Russian Biedermeier medallion. "

To closed society (Sartre, March 1966):

“Ute Boy has a clear charisma for Estelle; the snippy, complacency, superficiality of the young murderess is perhaps even more compelling than through mere femininity. "

“Estelle, the nymphomaniac child killer, is Ute Boy; especially with her, who only knows how to give her role in rough outline, the direction should have had to do even more intensively. "

Remarks

1. ^ Date from 25 years of theater in Berlin . However, the reference work is not reliable, for example the cast is incomplete, namely Behrend only as director. Funk Uhr , Heft 6 (o.7?) / 1972, p. 56, Ute Boy. The charming fourth from Berlin (occupation: TV announcer (20)) does not give a date. The theater critic Herbert Ihering noted March 14th on his theater bill. ( Archive of the Academy of Arts , Herbert-Ihering-Archiv, call number 11486). Reviews appeared immediately afterwards. The vague stage itself is only available indirectly; March 14th is considered plausible.
