Actress Edith Hancke is dead – SPIEGEL ONLINE

Her voice was her trademark: scratchy, distinctive, sometimes even flashy, the result of a botched tonsillectomy – Despite or perhaps because the actress Edith Hancke conquered the theaters of boulevard theater. Now the native Berliner died in her hometown.

Your career started Hancke end of the forties with her first film role in Gerhart Hauptmann’s “beaver” – still had her certified “lack of talent” at the drama school, but soon played Hancke at Berlin’s Renaissance Theatre, the Deutsches Theater, the Schiller -, Schlosspark- and Hansa Theater – and along with her husband and fellow actor Klaus sunshine then many years at the Tribune. “No marriage to measure”, “Arsenic and Old Lace”, “My father the bachelor” or “Tricky lies” were called the pieces. It is so nice when people laugh at the theater and two hours time to forget their problems. “This is worth the same as the fee that we deserve.” The original “Berliner plant” loved the audience and the applause. “I need that!” She once said.

In addition Hancke starred in numerous TV movies, from “The Captain of Koepenick” (1956) with Heinz Rühmann to TV comedy “marshmallows” (2009) alongside Christine Neubauer. However,

Your favorite role was outside light entertainment: the socially critical piece “The window to the hallway” of Curth Flatow and Horst Pillau was the Annie Wiesner. “I have stipulated to me as possible every five years time to play a piece in which not only nonsense is done. I want him some day to show that I can something else,” she said to her 80th birthday.

The age and aging were also a stage theme for Hancke. So she was seen among others in the play “autumn crocus” a senior WG. Problems of older, about solitude, are also topics for plays.
