Karoline Eichhorn Highlights Challenges for Actresses Over 50

The German actress opens up about reduced roles and financial struggles in an age-biased industry.

Karoline Eichhorn, known for her role in 'Der Trafikant', discusses the significant reduction in acting opportunities for women over 50.
Eichhorn notes a 60% decrease in work over the past five years, leading to financial difficulties as unemployment benefits are hard to obtain for actors.
She stars in the ZDF 'Herzkino' film 'Ein Sommer an der Côte d'Azur', a project she chose due to limited roles available for her age group.
The actress expresses a desire to maintain her career despite challenges, emphasizing the need for patience and resilience.
Eichhorn has developed a theater production with Catrin Striebeck to fill gaps between acting roles, demonstrating her adaptability and commitment to her craft.
