Nobody was on the “dream ship” for as long as she was: Heide Keller traveled around the world as head hostess Beatrice in the ZDF series for almost four decades.
Now the native of Düsseldorf has died at the age of 81.
The ZDF announced.
"Heide Keller wrote television history," Heike Hempel, deputy program director of ZDF, is quoted in a message.
“In the role of head hostess Beatrice, she was the good spirit on board the 'dream ship' for 38 years - a record.
No other actress has played a comparable role in a series for so long. "Keller also wrote the script for the series, developed her character and made her" a German cult figure ":" We will miss her very much. "
Keller, born on October 15, 1939 in Düsseldorf, played after completing her acting training on various German theater stages before joining ZDF.
She embodied the head hostess Beatrice from episode one in 1981. Keller had her last appearance on the "dream ship" in 2018 in the 80th episode.
