Born and raised in the former German Democtratic Republic Nina Hagen was lucky enough
to have a famous mother and an infamous stepfather, whose
political views thwarted her plans of attending acting school.
Still, Nina Hagen managed to become a cult figure and a successful
rock star.
In the 1970s her whole family gave in to political pressure
and moved to Western Germany. There, Nina Hagen became an
immensely popular punk rock legend and even gained international
reputation.
Increasingly, Nina Hagen became known for shocking public
appearances and shrill outfits rather than musical
achievements.
Today, Nina Hagen is an acclaimed actress, singer and synchronizer
of cartoons.
