Going to the director's room just because he demands it? Taking her clothes off for a film? Uschi Glas would never do that, she says. She was never a sweetheart, but always an emancipated woman. The acting icon Uschi Glas talks about her life, the #MeToo campaign, and nudity in the 1960s. Honest, self-assured, and a role model for young women.

I was never a sweetheart: On the 80th birthday of the film icon

Uschi Glas is an institution and an indispensable part of Germany's film and television landscape. In the 1960s, she won the hearts of millions as Winnetou's Apanatschi, but contrary to her role in the classic film "Zur Sache, Schätzchen" (roughly translated as "Let's Get Down to Business, Sweetheart"), there was one thing she never wanted to be – a sweetheart. Never watered down, preferring rough edges, that was her motto.

On the occasion of her 80th birthday, Uschi Glas not only looks back but also ahead to what lies ahead. She writes about finding and staying true to yourself, why independence has always been important to her as a working woman and mother, and about aging in an industry where actresses, in particular, often have an expiration date. Whether she's sharing private, life-changing moments or her personal strategies for serenity and inner happiness, Uschi Glas tells her story in her characteristically down-to-earth and practical way, striking a serious tone yet never losing her sense of humor. In doing so, she encourages all her readers to maintain their own resilience.

Engaged and empowering: a true inspiration for us all!
