TV veteran Uschi Glas describes a harrowing experience that left her fighting for her life in her prime years.
Munich - Radiating an infectious zest for life, Uschi Glas (80) showcases far more than just aging gracefully. A near-death experience from her past continues to linger, leaving in its wake deep scars.
The Oyster Poisoning Nightmare: "I couldn't tell up from down"
In a candid interview with "From Woman to Woman" magazine, the actress recounts a harrowing ordeal that befell her in London during her younger years. "I was hit with a severe oyster poisoning," she reveals. "I stumbled into a shabby room, felt like I was losing myself day after day and was nearly blind for three days, crawling on all fours for days on end – it was pure madness." For Uschi Glas, the very fact that she survived this ordeal remains a miracle. "Every moment was a constant battle, absolutely horrific. I thought I was going to die."
At the time, she was all alone and utterly powerless in her desperate situation. A later diagnosis revealed she had severe jaundice. Even years later, the mere mention of oysters would prompt a visceral reaction. Today, though, she bears no residual fear and can enjoy the delicacy once again.
Uschi Glas Swears by Health and Prevention: "I refuse to think about the worst"
Uschi Glas places great emphasis on her health, dedicating herself to regular exercise, wholesome meals, and proactive health checks. However, there's one topic she categorically steers clear of – the very subject that forms the crux of her latest film, "Inga Lindström: Simply Love," where she portrays a woman aware of her impending dementia. "I refuse to entertain such thoughts," Uschi Glas stressed in an interview with prosieben.de earlier this year. "I feel incredibly fit, and I choose to focus on the present instead. I suppose you could say I'm not a great role model in that sense, but I can't pretend to know what the future holds."
