Viola Schweizer , also Viola Schweizer-Hebel , (born September 18, 1954 in Berlin ) is a German actress .

Life

Schweizer first learned the job of a skilled chemical worker in the Leuna works . She then applied to drama schools, but was rejected. She therefore learned to play self-taught and was initially accepted as a small actress at the Komische Oper Berlin .

Schweizer came to television in 1974. In the two episodes of the film series Polizeiruf 110 , Per Anhalter und Nachttaxi , she played unscrupulous seductresses. She got her first leading role on television in 1978 in the film You must go over seven bridges , the title of which alludes to the song of the same name by the group Karat . She took on her first major film role in 1979 in Iris Gusner's Alle mein Mädchen , also in the role of a non-conformist. She played the worker Kerstin, who is intelligent but also has a criminal record and therefore plays an outsider role in her brigade . In 1980, the film mirror dedicated a poster to Schweizer.

Schweizer studied until 1982 at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin . After eight years of engagement at the Komische Oper Berlin, she canceled this contract and then played at theaters in Berlin , Halle and Erfurt as well as at various off-theaters. She also worked in numerous films and television productions. Her portrayal was not without controversy, as Renate Holland-Moritz described her in a film review alongside Ellen Hellwig as an "anti-actress ...". In 2001 Schweizer ended her career as an actress.

Schweizer has been married since 1984 and has one child. She lives near Berlin.
