Brigitte Antonius, Born in Vienna, Still Active in Front of the Camera at 92: Guinness Record?

A ten-hour day is nothing unusual for the seasoned actress. But: "I'm constantly tired, I don't sleep much at night," she tells in a dpa interview. She can't go to bed early because of the late dog-walking round with her two dogs. She often spends the evenings in front of the TV, watching old episodes of the telenovela.

Brigitte Antonius Still Memorizes Scripts Even at an Old Age

Work and interaction on set are her life. Then the 1.65 meter short, red-haired actress with the striking blonde streak and always elegant costumes blossoms. Antonius proves that she still memorizes scripts off the cuff. During lunch before the long winter break in the canteen of the large office complex on the outskirts of Lüneburg, she can recite long past roles. This includes that of Armgard from the Schiller drama "Wilhelm Tell", which she passionately recites. The versatile actress once toured the world with a solo program: "I still have that in my head."

Working for television is important to the senior, she doesn't think much of a quiet retirement. "I am very grateful that I can still be here," says the devout Christian. "I am in regular contact with my guardian angel." By the way, Antonius spends her birthday during her long shooting break until May 5th at home in Burgenland.

Antonius had numerous stage engagements such as at the Theater in der Josefstadt and at the Burgtheater. She appeared in numerous films in addition to TV roles, including "Ene, mene Muh und tot bist du" by Houchang Allahyari (1999) and "Komm süßer Tod" by Wolfgang Murnberger (2000).
