Actor · 1940 – 2006 · Mohrungen, Germany
Wilfried Baasner (born May 28, 1940, in Mohrungen; died March 28, 2006, in Athens) was a German actor. Baasner grew up in Lauenburg and Hamburg. At the age of 17, he left secondary school and began his acting training at the Hamburger Kammerspiele under Ida Ehre. This was followed by theater engagements at various venues, including the Stadttheater Bremerhaven, the Wiener Volkstheater, the Wiener Schauspielhaus, the Hamburger Kammerspiele, the Landesbühne Hannover, and the Renaissance-Theater in Berlin. In 1982, Baasner received the prestigious Kainz Medal for his portrayal of John Merrick in Bernard Pomerance's *The Elephant Man* at the Schauspielhaus Wien. He also garnered significant acclaim for his role in the television drama *Hautnah* (1985), which was awarded the Adolf Grimme Prize. Baasner achieved nationwide fame through his role as the unscrupulous Achim Lauritzen in the ZDF television series *Das Erbe der Guldenburgs*. His bald head—originally shaved for a production of Bertolt Brecht's *The Threepenny Opera*, in which he played Mackie Messer—later became his trademark. During the final years of his life, Baasner lived primarily in Greece. He died in 2006 in a hospital in Athens.

Movie5.5DramaJudit is up to her neck in art studies and the elitist art community but chucks it all to pursue a successful career as a billiard professional -- not exactly a likely alternative in real life, but certainly more lucrative. Just as she is finally at the apex of her chosen second field, Judit encounters male jealously and/or aggression in the form of intentional snubs from this different class of snobs, or in the worse instances, rape. Director Kitty Kino portrays many of the male figures in this film as weak, or drunk, or simply offensive, and because of the emphasis on those traits, the film will raise objections from some viewers. On the other hand, many women might see this film and feel that at least it brings up the difficulties women can face in getting ahead in a male-dominated arena, instead of side-stepping or ignoring the role of male prejudice.
