German actress Hanna Schygulla was born on December 25, 1943, when World War II was raging around the world. In peacetime, her father traded wood, but then went to the front and fell into Soviet captivity, from which he returned only in 1948. At the end of the war, the mother and little Hannah left for Munich, where the girl graduated from high school. She gravitated to the humanities and dreamed of becoming a teacher. But at the age of 23, she was drawn to the acting path, and she began to attend courses in the studio of Friedl Leonard.
In 1967, Hannah met director Rainer Werner Fassbinder, who helped her get a job in the Action Theatre. A year later, it was closed for technical reasons, and a part of the separated troupe organized the Antitheater. Since that time Shigulla played in almost all productions and films of Fassbinder.
In the movie, the actress made her debut in the film “Groom, Comedian and Pimp” directed by Jean-Marie Straub. No one really knows how Hannah’s personal relationship with Fassbinder developed, but the fact that she was his muse and Galatea is undoubtedly. Together they made 21 films, including Katzelmacher, The Seller of Four Seasons, Love is Colder Than Death, Gods of the Plague, Whitey, The Marriage of Mary Brown.
Fassbinder not only revealed the full talent of the actress, he created a whole mysterious myth under the name of Shigula, illuminated all the facets of the amazing, mysterious charm of this woman. Hannah starred in the directors V. Wenders, J.L. Godard, K. Saur, M. Ferreri, but no one she shone like Rainer. After his death in 1982, the actress did not appear in films, but with pleasure was engaged in voice acting animation. Since 1983, fans of Hannah could see her in the films “Love in Germany” directed by Andrzej Wajda, “Pure Madness” by Margareta von Trott, “Casanova” by Simon Langton, “Die Again” by Kenneth Branagh,
"Faust" Alexandra Sakur.
