Brigitte Beier was born on October 24,
1939 in Berlin, Berlin, Germany. Beier
is the daughter of the press cartoonist and caricaturist Alfred Beier-Red . She
was usually seen in crime films and in several episodes of ‘Police 110’ TV series.
Her film debut was in 1964 in the DEFA
drama film directed by Heiner Carow's “Die Hochzeit von Länneken”. In this
screen adaptation from the novel by Herbert Nachbar she played the daughter of
a fisherman Bärbel Pröpping that works with her great love, the young
fisherman's son Henning Grabe, for an equitable distribution of fishing grounds
among all fishermen. In 1971 she played under the direction of Claus Dobberke
the role of Maria Ritter in the political drama “Verspielte Heimat”. The director Kurt
Jung-Alsen contracted Beier 1971/1972 for the role of the Jew Recha Fain in the
Holocaust Miniseries “Die Bilder des Zeugen Schattmann”, a film based on the
autobiography of the writer and graphic artist Peter Noble.
She was seen until the 1980s in many
feature films. These included: “The Legend of Paul and Paula”, the children's
film “Moritz in der Litfaßsäule”, and the family films “Das
Schulgespenst” and “Der Streit um des Esels Schatten”.
In the series “Spuk unterm Riesenrad”
and “Drei von der K” she also played a role.
In 1981 she made her only Euro-western
with a role in “The Long Ride to School”.
Today we celebrate Brigitte Beier’s 75th
birthday.
