Career

edit
 
Susanne Uhlen

Uhlen began her acting career by doing acting spots in commercials as a child, and appeared in her first film at age 9. As a child, she changed schools each year, as her mother constantly had to relocate to keep up with acting commitments. At 16, she married a fellow student, but her mother became involved and ended the marriage. She then married cameraman Charly Steinberger, with whom she had one son. By this time her acting career was flourishing, but her marriage to Steinberger ended shortly after the birth of their child.

Personal life

In 1981, she met actor Herbert Herrmann [de], with whom she would have a thirteen-year relationship, producing one child, Christopher Kieling. She has starred in numerous successful German television series, which she continues to do today, along with many film and theater appearances. In 1995, she met and became involved with her current partner, Henry Dawidowicz, a corporate manager for a cosmetics company.
