Actress Welcomes First Grandchild in Her Family. - Actress to Experience Grandmotherhood for the First Time.
Talk about a double whammy for Katja Riemann, the celebrated German actress! She's been bustling around the film scene for years and now, she's got a new role to add to her repertoire: Grandma! During a charming chat on Deutschlandfunk Kultur's "Studio 9" podcast, the 61-year-old spilled the beans about her daughter Paula, who is having a baby.
The subject of their conversation initially revolved around Katja's upcoming stage production, "DI-VI-SI-ON," a sci-fi piece she's collaborating on with her daughter Paula, who's directing. Intriguingly, both Katja and Paula (31) will share the Renaissance Theater stage in Berlin, setting the scene for a generational clash as two actresses steer the ship.
Later, Katja drops a bomb: "There's a third generation involved in this production - my daughter is pregnant!" She added, "So, we're three women. A tiny little woman is on the way." Despite some coyness about the due date, Katja's excitement is palpable.
If you're thinking that the Riemann household is an acting factory, you're spot on! Paula's father, Peter Sattmann, is an actor, theater director, and playwright with whom Katja collaborated on the TV movie "Von Gewalt keine Rede." The couple's daughter was born in 1993, and it's evident that the acting and theater genes run strong in the family.
Now, let's take a step back and applaud Katja's incredible career. With a resume speckled with roles in films like "Bandits" and TV shows like the "Fack ju Göhte" series, Katja's versatility and determination have earned her a place alongside Germany's elite actors. Recently, she's even ventured into directing, making her debut with a film about ReFOCUS Media Labs, a film school developed in the Moria refugee camp in Greece.
In short, Katja Riemann's life and career are brimming with excitement. On one hand, she's gearing up for a new stage production and the arrival of her first grandchild. On the other, her ongoing acting career and recent directorial pursuits solidify her status as one of Germany's most accomplished actresses. And just think – we haven't even mentioned that adorable little grandbaby yet!
