In the latter, Barbara won critical kudos portraying a cynical, manipulative singer/hooker who sets her sights on an unsuspecting town politician played by Armin Mueller-Stahl. Following Fassbinder's sudden death in 1982, Barbara was gloriously displayed in a couple of stark, brilliant, politically-motivated films by director Margarethe von Trotta. In "Bleierne Zeit, Die (1981)", Barbara won both the Venice Film Festival and German Film awards and as "Rosa Luxemburg (1986)", she copped the Cannes Film Festival award. A number of international productions, notably Lars von Trier's "Europa (1991)", brought Barbara to the attention of Hollywood. Although not well known here by name, this fascinating figure has added her exotic allure to a number of American films including "Sicilian (1987)", "M. Butterfly (1993)", "Johnny Mnemonic (1995)", "Cradle Will Rock (1999)" and the just-completed "Romance & Cigarettes (2005)", which was written and directed by John Turturro. Barbara started up a second career as a concert vocalist in recent years, performing works by such classical composers as Arthur Schoenberg, among others. hide |
