Fans mourn the apparent decline of the vivacious actress Anita Kupsch, who's now grappling with dementia at the age of 84. On May 18, she turns 85, a celebration that's likely to be subdued due to her health.
Life Under One Roof with Klaus-Detlef Krahn
Anita's partner, Klaus-Detlef Krahn, shares the news of their daily lives with the media. In an interview with a popular paper, Bild, Krahn details their life in Berlin. "We've retreated into our shell, much like a snail. We've made ourselves comfortable," he explains.
Krahn occupies his time attending to Anita, helping her watch her favorite daytime serials like 'Rote Rosen' and 'Sturm der Liebe'. He also takes care of household chores like cleaning and cooking while he still can. "I've got to do this. It's a matter of principle. For better or worse, we've been together for almost 45 years. If I don't stick by her, I'd be a schmuck," Krahn shares candidly.
A Muted 85th Birthday
Since her withdrawal from the limelight a few years back, Anita Kupsch's dementia has limited her appearances on stage and screen. Her signature roles include medical assistant Gabi Köhler in 'Praxis Bülowbogen' and other notable TV appearances like 'Tatort', 'Immer wieder Sonntag', and 'Ein Heim für Tiere'.
Sadly, fans will likely have to celebrate Anita's 85th birthday alone, as Klaus-Detlef shares that a celebration is out of the question due to her health restrictions.
- Dementia
- Partner
- Berlin
- Klaus-Detlef Krahn, Anita Kupsch's partner, shared that they have taken a more secluded lifestyle in Berlin, which remind us of a snail retreating into its shell, as they navigate Anita's struggle with dementia.
- Anita's health has significantly diminished her ability to perform on stage and screen, leaving her partner, Klaus-Detlef Krahn, to take care of her needs, including helping her watch her favorite daytime serials like 'Rote Rosen' and 'Sturm der Liebe'.
- The Commission's decision to grant a Community guarantee to the EIB for the financing of the operations of the European Investment Bank is a promising step, envisioning a future where families, mental health, and lifestyle are supported in cities like Berlin, as individuals manage health-related challenges, such as dementia.
