Overview
- Senta Berger, 85, is nominated for Best Female Lead at the Deutscher Filmpreis for her role in Ach, diese Lücke, diese entsetzliche Lücke.
- In a new stern interview reported by dpa, she said auditions and being passed over feel humiliating and leave her feeling helpless.
- Asked about recent losses, she said grief never gets easier, citing the deaths of her husband, director Michael Verhoeven, and longtime friend Mario Adorf.
- Verhoeven died shortly before filming began on the nominated movie, which placed her return to set in the midst of personal mourning.
- She had received a lifetime achievement honor at the same awards about five years earlier, marking continued recognition late in her career.
