Book 3,556 Posted February 20, 2020 20 hours ago, ThePrematureBurial said: A very beautiful actress of the 1950ies. Now Liselotte Pulver, Nadja Tiller & Hardy Krüger are the only ones still alive, I think. There are several others still alive, I guess. But the problem for them is getting a qo. Blacky Fuchsberger didn't get a qo in 2014, even if he was a big star in Germany, staring in various Edgar Wallace movies and hosted various legendary TV shows. It seems to me like the English press is ignoring Germans (related to qo). Latest examples are writer Gudrun Pausewang and politician Manfred Stolpe. I'm really upset about it, still. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
