Thank you for posting this. I became a fan of hers back in the mid-1960s after seeing "Playgirl". I always wondered why she had been announced for Hollywood's "House of Cards" but was replaced by Inger Stevens. This interview explains why. She also reveals that she was wanted for the Bond film "You Only Live Twice", but turned the role down (it was played by Karin Dor in the film). The film of hers I would most like to view again is "Le Grand Dadais" (The Big Softie). I also wish her American TV series, "Primus", was available for streaming, even though the episodes I saw back then weren't very good.
A lot of her unanswered questions about her character's motivations were answered in the novelisation of the movie by Nanni Balestrini. Not that it mattered at that point.
She certainly doesn’t seem to have thought much of The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, though the film was much better reviewed by critics, and has stood the test of time much better than House of Cards the film she still seemed to have preferred to have done even in 2005, though that film is almost impossible to find regardless of boasting Orson Welles or George Peppard in the cast. Neither does she seem aware of how well regarded Dario Argento is as a master filmmaker.
Even though I think Eva was miscast as The Killer in L'Uccello Dalle Piume Di Cistallo, I really enjoy this interview with her. Very charming interesting person. I get a kick that she was somewhat befuddled playing that kind of a character.
Eva if you can read this somehow from beyond the veil, you were a fine and beautiful actress and you were great in A Funeral in Berlin.
Beautiful german actress. Thanks for sharing👍

I didn't expect her to be so smart and eloquent, especially in English ...

Remarkable.
Can anyone provide a date for this interview?
Probably 2002 or 2003...
Wasn’t she unpleasant to Michael Caine and Guy Hamilton on “Funeral in Berlin”??
