Hilde Dalik interviewed by Peter Krobath
PeterPeter Krobath: How do you relate to Princess Diana?
Hilde Dalik: Before I got hold of the screenplay of Kiss Me, Princess not at all. I knew who she was, that was all. When I was preparing for the role of Susi I had to struggle through piles of trashy gossip mags like Neue Post and Bunte. But that didn't really provide me with any special insights except that the poor thing was ripped to shreds by the press.
Is this your first leading role in a feature film?
Hilde Dalik: Yes, it's my first leading role. Immediately before Kiss Me, Princess I was in a film directed by Reinhard Schwabenitzky but that was only a small role, and before that I was still studying at the Conservatory [for Performing Arts]. During this time I also had minor roles at the Burgtheater and several roles in short films made at the Film Academy or TV work in things like Kommissar Rex and Julia - Eine ungewöhnliche Frau.
How does it feel to be the centre of attention on a filmset? Does it put creative pressure on you?
