Celebrating a Milestone: Hallervorden Reaches 90, Admits to Persistent Stage Fright - Celebrating Hallervorden's 90th Birthday - "The remnant of Lampaditis lingers on"
Dieter Hallervorden, the iconic German actor, cabaret artist, and creator of the slapstick figure "Didi", is turning 90 on September 5th, 2022. Born in Dessau, Germany, in 1935, Hallervorden has had a storied career spanning over six decades.
Known for his work in television, particularly the series "Nonstop Nonsens" in the 1970s, which includes the cult episodes "Palim, Palim" and "Cow Elsa", Hallervorden has left an indelible mark on German entertainment. His performances have been marked by a unique brand of humour and a knack for slapstick comedy that has endeared him to generations of fans.
As he prepares to celebrate his milestone birthday, Hallervorden is set to take on the lead role in Molière's "The Imaginary Invalid" at the premiere on his birthday. However, he is experiencing increased nervousness, as he worries about potential mishaps such as the lighting technician accidentally pressing the wrong switch. To calm his nerves, he imagines his parents and grandparents in the audience, recalling their laughter and smiles.
Hallervorden's wife, Christiane, and his four children from his first two marriages will also be in attendance at a surprise gala at the Schlosspark Theater on September 6th. The event, planned by the Schlosspark Theater team, was a fitting tribute to a man who has contributed so much to German entertainment.
Throughout his career, Hallervorden has shown a different side of himself in films like "His Last Race", for which he won a German Film Prize, and "Honig im Kopf" (2014) with Til Schweiger, where he played an Alzheimer's-stricken grandfather.
However, Hallervorden has also been a controversial figure due to some of his past statements. He faced criticism for using discriminatory language in the ARD anniversary show, specifically the "N-word" and the "Z-word". He defended his use of the offensive language as satire and emphasized his belief in freedom of opinion.
Despite political differences, Hallervorden finds it "interesting when people with different political views come together to actively work towards peace." He plans to participate in a large demonstration in Berlin under the banner "Stop the genocide in Gaza! No weapons in war zones! Peace instead of armaments!" alongside figures like Sahra Wagenknecht, chairwoman of the Left Party.
In addition to his work in entertainment, Hallervorden has also founded the cabaret stage "The Wühlmäuse" in Berlin and opened the Mitteldeutsches Theater in the Marienkirche in Dessau in 2022. His career began as shown in the ARD documentary "Hallervorden - Didi against the Rest of the World". Despite facing criticism, Hallervorden has always been a man who expresses his opinions freely and believes in the importance of doing so, even if they may not be right.
As Hallervorden enters his 90th year, he continues to be a force to be reckoned with in German entertainment. His legacy is undeniable, and his impact on the industry is immeasurable. Here's to many more years of laughter, controversy, and groundbreaking performances from this remarkable man.
