What she would like to experience

Hand on heart: If the famous fairy godmother came suddenly, what would you wish for? A lottery win? A journey into space? To lose ten kilos overnight? Even actress Christiane Hörbiger (73) has ever thought about it. And her three wishes are surprisingly tangible. Read what the grande dame of the German-speaking film is all about: First there is a cooking class! Because in the kitchen, she admits openly, she does not shine half as much as in her films. Three years ago, her partner, the director and writer Gerhard Tötschinger (65), gave a corresponding course. But to visit him, apparently, was always the time ... And so was the simple steak or a vegetable pan their personal culinary top performance. "When we get guests, my husband takes care of the culinary well-being of our visit, " says Christiane Hörbiger meekly. And that should probably be different after the cooking class. Gerhard Tötschinger also plays a major role in her next yearning. "I would like a cruise with the Queen Mary from New York to Hamburg - not the other way round, because I prefer to come home with the ship after the long journey, " admits the sea-solid actress Christiane Hörbiger. Of course only at the side of her partner, because such a romantic trip must be enjoyed as a couple. And wish number three? He has four legs and a flat muzzle: The Viennese would love to have a pug. Made of plush, the cute dogs have already arrived at her. But they can not play, romp and cuddle! So should (someday) a real pug ago. Christiane Hörbiger says she would go for a walk with him often, and he should also sit with her on the lap and watch TV with her. How sweet!
