Ilka Bessin, 50, comedian, back to work as unemployed. In mid-May, four episodes of “The Cindy from Marzahn Show” will be recorded in Halle (Saale), an RTL spokesman for the German Press Agency confirmed. Bessin declared her farewell to Cindy from Marzahn in 2016. To the mirror Bessin said at the time: “You can’t play a character like that to death. If you put on a wig every night for eleven years and put on a pink jogging suit, you have to be careful that people don’t say at some point: ‘Whoa, I can’t do that shit see more.'” In the role of an unemployed woman with a fondness for pink clothes, Bessin found great success, both on stage and on television. In 2009 she got her own show on RTL, in 2012 she became Markus Lanz’s assistant as Cindy on the ZDF Saturday evening show “Wetten, dass…?”, and from 2013 she was also on Sat.1.
Georg Bätzing, 61, Bishop of Limburg, thinks Italian cuisine is heavenly. “Italian is the best for me”, he said in a video interview with a seven-year-old child reporter from the parish of St. Peter in Montabaur. He is impressed by “pasta in all colors and varieties”, as well as by pizza. But the greatest passion is something else: “Eating ice cream is something fine,” said Bätzing, who is also chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference. However, he is not allowed to eat hazelnuts and fresh apples at all. He is allergic to that.
Charlotte, 7, British Princess, is going through the menopause. For the birthday of her second child, Duchess Catherine published photos that she took herself. In one of the pictures, Charlotte can be seen in a meadow full of bluebells with the royal cocker spaniel, Orla, with a gap-toothed smile typical of a seven-year-old. Charlotte is fourth in line to the British throne, behind her grandfather Charles, her father William and her older brother George.
Harry Wijnvoord, 72, presenter, is making a comeback that feels incomplete. “Of course I would have liked to have had him there,” he told the German Press Agency, referring to his colleague Walter Freiwald, who died in 2019 and who is therefore unable to be present in the new edition of the RTL show “The price is called”. “Unfortunately it can’t be changed,” said Wijnvoord. The Dutchman and Freiwald once moderated the show together until it was discontinued in 1997. Wijnvoord, who lives in Münsterland, still remembers the last days of Freiwald, who shortly before his death made it public that he was terminally ill with cancer. When he read that, he immediately called Freiwald, Wijnvoord reported. They hadn’t spoken for a long time, but then had an emotional exchange. “We talked for a long time,” said Wijnvoord. “We sat at the table – he with him, I with mine – and we both cried bitterly.”
