Claudia Schiffer, 50 years old
Nowadays, when you see Claudia Schiffer, you can’t tell by her age that she doesn’t look like other women at 50. In fact, there is hardly any difference to her self when she was still one of the most successful top models in the world. Today, however, she has long put her career aside to devote herself to her two children and her husband, director Matthew Vaughn. She occasionally plays smaller roles as an actress, otherwise she can rest on her former success as she is a multi-millionaire and enjoys her family life in London.

Sandra, 58 years old
The German singer Sandra became an international pop star in the 1980s with “(I’ll Never Be) Maria Magdalena”. The song is still considered a true classic of its time and is still played worldwide. Although Sandra began her musical career at the age of just 12, it took a few years before she had her big breakthrough. In the 1990s, Sandra was also involved in the music project “Enigma”, which was initiated by her partner at the time, Michael Cretus. Today, the celebrity lives in seclusion and we hope that she can enjoy her retirement.

She has also made a name for herself as an actress and has also worked as a musical performer. Gitte, 74 years old, is still not thinking of ending her career.

Eva Herman, 62 years old
In recent years, Eva Herman has transformed herself from one of the country’s most popular television journalists into a right-wing conspiracy theorist. For 18 years, she was the face of the “Tagesschau” news program on German TV channel Erste and it is hard to imagine German television without her. Her questionable views first came to light with her book “The Eva Principle”, published in 2006. In the same year, she gave up her position as a news presenter, and television stations have shunned her ever since. Today, the celebrity and her partner Andreas Popp spread right-wing populist conspiracies on social media. The couple now live on a Canadian island, much to the displeasure of many local residents who fear that a right-wing extremist “colony” could form here.

Tine Wittler, 48 years old

The incident made headlines and laid the foundations for Elke’s successful career. Nowadays, she is best known from the “Pink Panther” films or “The Wrecking Crew”.

Vicky Leandros is without doubt one of the most important pop singers of recent decades. Her father was also a musician, which made it easier for her to enter the music scene. Having previously recorded music in Greece, the Greek-born singer made her big breakthrough in Germany in the 1960s. In German-speaking countries, songs such as “Theo, wir fahr’n nach Lodz” are her best-known works, but Vicky’s musical diversity is not limited to Schlager; she has already worked successfully abroad in a wide variety of genres.

However, his career came to an end in 2004 when he was accused of rape. The trial in this case lasted several years and Türck was ultimately acquitted as the evidence was insufficient. For understandable reasons, he never made a comeback.

The musician was not allowed to perform in the GDR because of his political lyrics, but he became a real rock star in West Germany.
