“Long live the queen”: statements by Berben, Mattes, Schneeberger, Winter and Morreis

She could only film five individual scenes. Five high-profile actresses have agreed to take on the role of Hannelore Elsner in these missing scenes, allowing the film to be completed:
Iris Berben: “Hannelore Elsner loved her job very much. And Hannelore Elsner loved the profession very much. The fact that I took a scene in this movie that I couldn’t play anymore was a final bow to her. Then I could thank you again for your friendship and for your movies. Playing has shaped his life. So I think it is logical that he was in front of the camera as long as he could and how his strength allowed him. “
Eva Mattes: “When I was asked if I would take over a scene for Hannelore Elsner, I didn’t have to think about it. I said blindly not knowing what to play. Because I find this idea so wonderful that five actresses bring Hannelore’s latest film to the end and put it on the screen. I have known Hannelore since she was 13 years old. It was always very special to me, to which I tenderly bow with my small appearance. ”
Gisela Schneeberger: “When I heard about the concept, I was initially interested. When I discovered the names of my colleagues, much more. Nothing but good was heard from director Richard Huber. And after working together, I’m a fan of Gerlinde Wolf anyway, the best conditions to venture into the project. So it was a very nice day of filming, at the end of which I met Judy Winter: with her, I made one of my first movies decades ago, in amazement. What a day!
Judy Winter: “When I received the request to speak for Hannelore Elsner, I was already thinking. Is it fair at all? It’s your movie! But then I was convinced by the idea that four other good and serious colleagues would like to pay tribute to Hannelore Elsner with their performances. So we were able to show her how much we appreciate her as an actress. “
Marlene Morreis: “This session was so special, sad and absurd. Everything was different from usual. Before filming started, I asked Hannelore Elsner if it wasn’t uncomfortable for her to die in the movie. She laughed and said that she had died in front of the camera so many times, that it was nothing unusual for her. Of course, the sentence has a completely different meaning today. “
