Make-up off-Life is beautiful

Pink jogging suit, a flower in her blonde wig, Berlin muzzle. That was Cindy from Marzahn, who enjoyed a stellar career from 2005 onwards. Over the years, the role became too narrow; Ilka Bessin wanted much more than Cindy aus Marzahn could do. Now she talks about her life: from her poignant childhood to unemployment and her time as a celebrated stage star. Her moving story is that of an exceptional artist. An audiobook that touches you, makes you laugh again and again and therefore gives you courage! Ilka Bessin, born in 1971 in Luckenwalde in Brandenburg, trained as a chef, worked as a waitress, hotel manager and entertainer and was unemployed for four years. In the early 2000s, she developed the stage character Cindy from Marzahn, an overweight, long-term unemployed woman from Berlin-Marzahn with a penchant for pink dresses.
