Uschi Glas

Helga Ursula "Uschi" Glas (; born 2 March 1944), sometimes credited as Ursula Glas, is a German actress in film, television, and on stage, and a singer.

Biography

The youngest of 4 children, she was born in Landau an der Isar, Bavaria in 1944 to parents Christian Glas and Josefine Kratzer Glas. Her father was a member of the Nazi party since 1931, and a member of the Waffen SS since 1944.

She started appearing in films in 1965. Her breakthrough role was that of Barbara in the unconventional 1968 movie Go for It, Baby (Zur Sache, Schätzchen), which captured the spirit of the times in that it presented youthful protest against the German establishment and hinted at the loosening of morals in the wake of the sexual revolution. From then on, the tabloid press would refer to Glas frequently as Schätzchen .

In the late '60s and early '70s, Glas appeared in many slapstick movies, notably in three films of the seven-part series (1967–72) (The Brats on the Front Bench Row). She made five comedy films opposite singer Roy Black.

In the 1980s and 1990s Glas concentrated on her television work, appearing in a succession of TV series tailored to her person, playing, among other characters, a veterinarian in Tierärztin Christine (1993), an energetic businesswoman in Anna Maria – Eine Frau geht ihren Weg (Anna Maria - A Woman goes her Way, 1995-1996), and the ideal teacher in Sylvia – Eine Klasse für sich (Sylvia - A Class of her own, 1998-2000). She also appeared in many feature-length made-for-TV movies. In total, Glas appeared in more than 75 film and TV productions.

Glas was married to the film producer from 1981 until their divorce in 2003; they had three children. In 2005, Glas married the business consultant Dieter Herrmann. She is now the step-mother to Sophie Hermann, a social media influencer and fashion designer who appears in the UK reality TV series Made in Chelsea.

In 2004, Glas published a memoir, Mit einem Lächeln (With a Smile).
