Peter Kurth, 66, actor, remembers being spied on. “It was more difficult for the State Security to gain a foothold in the theater system, but of course there was spying,” he told the magazine time crime. “In addition, every piece was removed by the state security.” In order to partially circumvent the censorship, the theaters have developed ways, such as the so-called white elephant. “If there was a point in the play that was particularly important to us, that we absolutely wanted to show the audience, then we blatantly violated the rules at another point that the state security couldn’t overlook it – in hopes that this passage would be deleted and that the other passage that is important to us would be overlooked. That was the white elephant, a kind of trap for the censors.”

He also didn’t want to be a painter because he had to paint thousands of square meters white; and then there was just a cook. “I was always hungry because there was never anything to eat at home. That somehow worked out.” When asked if he also cooks at home, Raue said he makes breakfast for his wife. “And I cook for the dog. But I don’t cook for myself at all.”

Coolidge had played the seriously unstable Tanya McQuoid in the first two seasons of the miniseries and won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for it.
