So sorry to hear that Udo Kier has died.
The German actor was 81, and a favorite of auteur directors making edgy movies.
He’s featured in a new Oscar bound film called “The Secret Agent,” which is about to be released. As usual, his performance is welcome and memorable.
Over a long and respected career, Kier won many awards. He received an Indie Spirit Award for Best Actor in the 2021 film, “Swan Song.” He was also a favorite of director Lars von Trier, and of Andy Warhol, among others. He even played Madonna’s lover in one of her videos. He was a big part of her scandalous 1992 “Sex Book.”
I was lucky enough to meet Udo Kier a few years ago. He was a lovely guy. Condolences to his family and friends.
Udo Kier, para sempre na memória.
Não existirá jamais outra pessoa e artista como Udo Kier.
Que senso de humor, que bom gosto, que alegria de viver. Há uma alegria verdadeira em admirar a vida longa e cheia de imagens e pessoas que Udo teve. Que sorte a nossa.
