Katarina Witt Says She Declined Danny Huston’s Marriage Proposal

She recounts the lakeside proposal from a 1996 film set during BILD’s “MayWay” podcast.

Overview

  • In the interview, Witt says Huston rowed her to the middle of a lake during a filming break and proposed.
  • She replied yes as a precaution after he joked she would have to swim back if she refused.
  • Once back on shore, both decided a wedding would be a “Schnapsidee” and agreed to remain friends.
  • Witt says marriage and a traditional family were never on her to-do list, describing herself as a free spirit focused on career and financial independence.
  • The relationship began on Die Eisprinzessin in 1996, with Huston directing and Witt starring, and coverage notes his later work including Yellowstone.
