A look at her filmography

portrait

Actress. Your dream job?Yes, absolutely! As a child, I always wanted to have a ca-reer that didn’t leave me longing for my leisure time andhobbies. I simply like to work. I love concentrating on dif-ferent characters and telling stories because I love work-ing with the German language.

What films will you drop everything else to watch?I am a total series junkie and proud of it. I am especiallyhooked on American series like “The Good Wife” or “MadMen”. I think the Americans are more advanced than weare in regard to comedy. The roles are played with suchself-irony, clarity and seriousness. If these types of seriesexisted in Germany, I would want to play a role in them.

In your last movie, “Willkommen im Club”, you help ayoung refugee named Jamaal reach his father. Wouldyou do the same thing as the woman in the movie?That is hard to say. The heart wants to help and themind says: You can’t do that. There are rights, laws,boundaries. It was exciting to tell the story of the innerconflicts that a person who finds themselves in sucha situation seems to experience. I would always try tohelp, but not act irrationally.

You are in fact socially active and serve as an ambas-sador for the foundation “Stiftung AtemWeg”. That isa very special project. What does the foundation do?

The 41-year-old is one of Germany’smost successful actresses. Audiencescan still learn much more about her asa person, however. Lisa Martinekopens up in an interview with “naturalwoman”.

“AtemWeg” educates people about lung diseases andpromotes research and treatment.

Why do you actively support this cause?The foundation is relatively young; it has only been in ex-istence for three years now. I was astounded that so littleresearch has been conducted on the organs of the res-piratory tract. After all it is a topic that affects all of us, ifnothing else because of the polluted air that we breatheon a daily basis - and that will certainly only becomeworse in the future. I am a health-conscious person, andhaving children has made me even more so.

What does your personal commitment involve? We ambassadors are present at many events. We held anauction for things that it is impossible to buy anywhereelse, such as a day of filming on the set with me.

Did you really take someone on the set with you? Of course, it was a lot of fun. The family came for a longweekend and was able to experience a day of filming.We ate lunch together in my trailer.

You have two daughters, three-year-old Ella and 15-month-old Carla. What do you try to teach them aboutsocial commitment? I believe that children imitate what they watch adultsdoing. I see that with my three-year-old daughter. Sheuses her doll to mimic whatever I am doing with myyoungest daughter. Children mirror our own behavior.You see and recognize things that you have not alwaysconsciously perceived before. And you naturally live outyour values as a result.

You have been married to the actor Giulio Ricciarellisince 2009 and have actually taken his name, isn’t thatcorrect?Yes, that is right. In private I am a Ricciarelli. áá

PERFECT DUO. Lisa Martinek and Swiss actress Charlotte Schwab.

2013WILLKOMMEN IM CLUBTV feature film Sat 1BELLA FAMILIATV feature film ZDF

GLAMOROUS. Lisa Martinek andher husband Giulio Ricciarelli atthe Hessian Film Awards.

áá I have been working under the name Lisa Martinekfor so long that changing it seemed impractical.

How Italian are things at your house? My husband isnot a typical Italian and I am not a typical Swabian be-cause I grew up in Stuttgart. However, my husbandspeaks only Italian to the children. We naturally alsohave family in Italy who we see on a regular basis. Ithink the Italian mentality is marvelous. I am espe-cially impressed by how the people there treat chil-dren. Everything is more relaxed. Children are notconsidered an annoyance in Italy. People listen tothem and spend more time with them. It seems to methat this is often different in Germany.

For the past five year, viewers have known you as ClaraHertz in the crime series “Das Duo” on ZDF. You were un-conventional, nonconformist and independent on theshow. How much of Clara Hertz is there in Lisa Martinek?Clara Hertz is more of a lone wolf with a fear of commit-ment. I am totally family-oriented and have an estab-lished group of friends. My husband and I have beentogether for eleven years now. I do like to be by myselfsometimes, however. I enjoy spending time alone.

One of your co-actresses in the TV series was CharlotteSchwab, who is a good friend of yours. What makesthis friendship between two women so special?

Charlotte is even the godmother of my children. We met a long time ago, back when we were acting inthe Thalia Theater together. I was a student at the Ham-burg University of Music and Theatre, and Charlotte wasalready a full-time actress. I remember her very well andshe always claims that she remembers me well too, butI don’t believe her. Charlotte is simply extremely charm-ing. We met again approximately eight years ago, whenwe began filming “Das Duo”. We are fundamentally verydifferent. As a result, we complement each other verywell and can share our thoughts and feelings better.

What is the basis for true friendship?You have to have a great deal of trust in each other andshow respect. I don’t have that many close friends, per-haps four, but Charlotte is one of them. Friendshipsneed to be unconditional in some ways and must beable to withstand crises at times.

According to a survey by the Gesellschaft für Er-fahrungswissenschaftliche Sozialforschung, an asso-ciation for empirical social research, approximatelyhalf of all German women feel more comfortable be-tween the ages of 40 and 59 than they did at 20. Whatabout you personally? I do in fact feel very comfortable at my current age. Thatis mainly because I feel physically fit, far removed fromany of the ailments of old age, and one simply has moreexperience than young people do. This mixture makeslife after 40 interesting, I think. Not everyone feels com-fortable in their own skin in their early 20s.

What makes women attractive? In my opinion, people who feel comfortable in their ownbodies are beautiful. I think you can tell if someone feelscomfortable with themselves or not. People who havethis aura of satisfaction about them are more interest-ing to me.

What do you do for yourself?I started taking ballet at age four and didn’t stop until Iwas 16 and decided to focus on acting. I still enjoy exer-cise very much and now do yoga and Pilates. You’ll oftenfind me Nordic walking in the English Garden in Munich.

“Charlotte and I are close friends.”

There are beauty blogs such a “FabForties – Theblog for fabulous women over 40” or the “AgingBooth app” that provides an entertaining

glimpse of what one might look like at age 70. Howmuch anti-aging does the world really need? Lots of it.But slightly sweetened, please, and with a fine air ofserenity. After all, if there is one thing we know it isthis: Aging cannot be put off forever. But quality of lifeand beauty can be kept at high levels for as long aspossible – and they definitely make us feel younger.Cosmetic research is always developing exciting newanti-aging effects for that very reason. After all, newfindings from the field of biotechnology are providingus with ever greater insights into the needs and com-plex functions of the skin.

The heroes of the “new aging” process:innovative active ingredients and a gooddose of serenity.While creams in the 1960s only protected the skin bar-rier, modern products are enriched with innovative,targetedly effective nourishing formulas: signal pep-tides, liposomes, natural hyaluronic acid from jelly fun-gus, aquaporines (water-storing channels in the skin),stimulating extracts from the coastal salicornia plantor plant extracts with a 3D structure that enablesother ingredients to become even more effective. Andthese are just a few examples. The plant world is im-measurably rich in potential active ingredients thatbenefit the skin, offer it a change of pace and stimu-late its functions. Of course that is not the key to eter-nal youth. But women want much more, somethingthat makes them look beautiful no matter what theirage. That can be achieved with care perfectly suited totheir particular skin type. And that is not fiction. n

Aged to Perfection!Anti-aging – fact or fiction?

Many women have come to realize:Forever young is out, new aging is in.Modern formulas can do just that:They are a powerful mix of nature andhigh tech.

Five to ten years are possible!Sometimes I just have to do it: I ask womenoutright what anti-aging remedy they use.Sorry, it is something of an occupational hazard for me. After all, a look at someone’sskin immediately tells you if something iswrong. Such as when the skin is dull, red, dryor patchy. I wish I could always carry a bag ofsamples with me and distribute them asneeded in such cases. It goes without sayingthat cosmetics cannot work miracles (eventhough they are often promised) – but skinthat is well cared for simply looks smootherand more radiant, is a little plump and has adelicate shine. Unfortunately, over the yearsfactors such as stress, air conditioning, insuffi-cient hormones, excess sun and too little sleepcause skin to become imbalanced. These factors can be combated with suitable skincare products, however. These must be exactlytailored to the skin, fitting like a key in a lock.The ratio of lipids and liquid is just as impor-tant as the active substances themselves. Ifyou are uncertain which product to choose,seek consultation. Pair an anti-aging productwith make-up perfectly suited to your com-plexion for an unbeatable combination: It isnot hard to look five or ten years younger withfresh, radiant skin! And that is a promise!

Mali Pays a Visit to Calw

“Teachers” with high aspira-tions: Fatoumata Coulibaly(left) and Fatoumata Haidara(right) pass on elementaryknow-how from the BÖRLIND laboratory to women in theirvillage who produce shea butter.

How a fair trade project is creating a better future


What do the two women from Mali have incommon with BÖRLIND? Lots. It all began alittle over four years ago. Research & Devel-

opment Director Guylaine Le Loarer was paying her veryfirst visit to the village of Siokoro, located in the middleof the bush 150 kilometers south of Mali’s capital city ofBamako. “I was welcomed by over 200 village inhabi-tants with cola nuts, fresh goat milk, music and danc-ing,” recalls Guylaine Le Loarer. “Later we christened herwith the African name Fanta,” recalls FatoumataCoulibaly with a smile during her visit to Calw.

Shea butter from Siokoro is something to be proud of: it is a very high-quality organic product

Fatoumata Coulibaly and Fatoumata Haidara are the“heart” of the organic shea butter project and are respon-sible for one of the most important tasks: They attend hy-giene and quality training seminars given by Guylaine LeLoarer’s team in Calw or in Siokoro. And they are happy topass on what they learn there to others. “It is a great joyfor us to learn new ways to improve the quality of theshea butter and to train the 32 women who work in pro-duction and the 360 women who collect the nuts,” ex-plains Ms Haidara. “The butter is now even biocertified.”Both of them are single, working mothers in their late for-ties. During the week, they are in charge of literacy, pro-duction, hygiene and health in Siokoro. On the weekends,they spend four hours on the overcrowded bus to Bamakoin order to spend time with their families.

In addition to the Malian dialect Bambara, the twoalso speak French. This makes them ideal employees forthe French-born Guylaine Le Loarer, who would other-wise have difficulty managing the project there. Twoyears ago, the women were still producing the butterunder traditional conditions: After being collected, the

fruits are boiled to separate the pulp from the pit. Thenuts are then dried, shelled, roasted in a clay oven andcrushed in a wooden mortar. The ground mass iscooked for many hours and mixed with water beforethe shea butter can be skimmed off.

Many production companies employ the femaleworkers in socially unacceptable conditions. FatoumataCoulibaly, mother of two, used to work for such a com-pany. She was not given a single day of vacation in sevenyears. That changed when “Häuser der Hoffnung –Schulbildung für die Dritte Welt e.V.” (a charitable organ-ization that supports academic and vocational trainingfor girls in Mali) and three Malian associations foundedthe the girls’ center “Jigiya Bon” in 2004 and later set upkarité butter manufacturing operations in 2011. BÖRLINDlikewise felt a sense of responsibility to the women andwanted to be more than just a fair raw materials buyer.It established and modernized the shea butter produc-tion facilities together with the charitable associationsand raised the women’s wages. More than 50 familiesare benefiting as a result.

Mali Pays a Visit to Calw

“Teachers” with high aspira-tions: Fatoumata Coulibaly(left) and Fatoumata Haidara(right) pass on elementaryknow-how from the BÖRLIND laboratory to women in theirvillage who produce shea butter.

How a fair trade project is creating a better future


What do the two women from Mali have incommon with BÖRLIND? Lots. It all began alittle over four years ago. Research & Devel-

opment Director Guylaine Le Loarer was paying her veryfirst visit to the village of Siokoro, located in the middleof the bush 150 kilometers south of Mali’s capital city ofBamako. “I was welcomed by over 200 village inhabi-tants with cola nuts, fresh goat milk, music and danc-ing,” recalls Guylaine Le Loarer. “Later we christened herwith the African name Fanta,” recalls FatoumataCoulibaly with a smile during her visit to Calw.

Shea butter from Siokoro is something to be proud of: it is a very high-quality organic product

Fatoumata Coulibaly and Fatoumata Haidara are the“heart” of the organic shea butter project and are respon-sible for one of the most important tasks: They attend hy-giene and quality training seminars given by Guylaine LeLoarer’s team in Calw or in Siokoro. And they are happy topass on what they learn there to others. “It is a great joyfor us to learn new ways to improve the quality of theshea butter and to train the 32 women who work in pro-duction and the 360 women who collect the nuts,” ex-plains Ms Haidara. “The butter is now even biocertified.”Both of them are single, working mothers in their late for-ties. During the week, they are in charge of literacy, pro-duction, hygiene and health in Siokoro. On the weekends,they spend four hours on the overcrowded bus to Bamakoin order to spend time with their families.

In addition to the Malian dialect Bambara, the twoalso speak French. This makes them ideal employees forthe French-born Guylaine Le Loarer, who would other-wise have difficulty managing the project there. Twoyears ago, the women were still producing the butterunder traditional conditions: After being collected, the

fruits are boiled to separate the pulp from the pit. Thenuts are then dried, shelled, roasted in a clay oven andcrushed in a wooden mortar. The ground mass iscooked for many hours and mixed with water beforethe shea butter can be skimmed off.

Many production companies employ the femaleworkers in socially unacceptable conditions. FatoumataCoulibaly, mother of two, used to work for such a com-pany. She was not given a single day of vacation in sevenyears. That changed when “Häuser der Hoffnung –Schulbildung für die Dritte Welt e.V.” (a charitable organ-ization that supports academic and vocational trainingfor girls in Mali) and three Malian associations foundedthe the girls’ center “Jigiya Bon” in 2004 and later set upkarité butter manufacturing operations in 2011. BÖRLINDlikewise felt a sense of responsibility to the women andwanted to be more than just a fair raw materials buyer.It established and modernized the shea butter produc-tion facilities together with the charitable associationsand raised the women’s wages. More than 50 familiesare benefiting as a result.

Today, the income the workers earn is sufficient tocover schooling and university education as well as foodand medicine. The inhabitants of the village have also de-veloped a better understanding of hygiene: Tuesday andFriday are now regarded as official cleaning days. Sanitaryfacilities have been constructed in many of the surround-ing villages as well. The nuts are collected only in well-marked, biocertified plots.

... an estimated four million people inGermany see the world in only two dimensions?... 3D films were already being shown inmovie theaters in the 1950s? They werealso sometimes known as stereoscopicfilms. Not until 2008 was the third dimension once again advanced withstate-of-the-art technology and developed for the mass market.

mothers will soon be able to take an ultrasound pic-ture of their baby home from the doctor’s office withthem in the form of a three-dimensional face mask. A clinic in Japan is already offering pregnant patientsthe option of having a sculptural 3D model created oftheir unborn babies. The patients can decide for them-selves whether they are interested in the service ornot.

The world of 3D technologies is extremely com-plex. Every year, dozens of movies are released thatgive us the perfect illusion of space and the feeling ofbeing right in the middle of the action. However, de-velopment that will enable 3D TV entertainment to re-place the two-dimensional screens in our living roomscurrently appears to be stagnating. Many of the largebroadcasting stations worldwide still balk at the im-mense costs and low demand for transforming theircontents into 3D format.

In addition to pioneering technologies, spatialstructures are also of key importance in the field ofmolecular biology and bionics. Biologically active mol-ecules, hormones, proteins, polysaccharides and en-zymes are all three-dimensional.

In the field ofmedical research, 3D printers are already working withliving cells with the goal of being able to produce arti-ficial organs in the future.

No Needto BlushNext flare-up? Put it on hold!Learning to live well with rosacea

What is rosacea and how can you tell if occasional patchy red facial skin is aninitial sign? Read on to find the answersto these questions, a self-test and helpful tips for living with rosacea.

She loves jalapeños und spicy sauces. Not to men-tion a good glass of red wine. Several years ago,Cynthia Nixon, better known as Miranda Hobbes

in the beloved American series “Sex and the City,” discov-ered that her favorite delicacies were responsible forcausing the burning red skin on her cheeks that did notnormalize again even after several minutes. The condi-tion of her skin became increasingly worse. It was brightred as if sunburned and covered with pimples. Sportsand sunshine only made it worse.

Delicate skin that stays red – couperosecan turn into rosacea

Cynthia Nixon has rosacea. A skin disease that cannotbe cured, but is readily controllable. Thanks to suitabletherapy, the actress’ skin is now once again smootherand her complexion more even. Spicy food, alcohol andsports with high stress peaks remain off limits for her,however.

Four million people in Germany suffer fromrosacea. The disease usually manifests itself for thefirst time between 30 and 45 years of age. Women aremore commonly affected than men. Genetic factors áá

Elegantly enhance good pointsRed patches can be easily hidden underconcealer. However, if you have rosacea, you should not place extra stress on the affected skin by applying make-up to it on a daily basis. Its condition may worsen as aresult. Overall presentation is much moreimportant. That includes hair, make-up andclothing. When applying make-up, empha-size the good points, such as your eyes. Thatcan provide ideal distraction from the redpatches. Beautiful eye make-up opens the eyes andmakes them radiant. Emphasize your eyeswith eyeliner and add sparkle to your lipswith a little gloss. You only want to empha-size one area at a time, however.

How can I care for dry legs – inparticular scaly, itchy shins –during the colder months of theyear?Katharina W., Neumünster This is a common problem – in winter be-cause of socks and in summer because of thesun. The skin on the shins is especially thinand dry. Leaving the problem persistently un-treated and itching can even lead to eczema.Prevention is the best approach. Simply mas-sage the legs with a body lotion each dayand make sure they get enough air. My SOStip for acute cases: exfoliate first, then mois-turize.

Beauty Balm and massage into the skin. Thecamellia extract it contains protects againstmoisture loss and strengthens the skin barrier.

Is it really true that the neck anddécolleté require intensive care?Jana H., via e-mail Yes, that is true. Just like the hands, signs ofaging often appear in these areas first. Theskin is extremely thin here and has virtually nosubcutaneous fat. LL Regeneration Neck andDécolleté Cream from ANNEMARIE BÖRLINDis specially designed to meet the needs ofthese skin areas. It absorbs quickly and doesnot remain on the surface of the skin. This iswhy a rich day cream would be inappropriatehere. I recommend that women over 30 takeextra special care of the skin on their neck anddécolleté.

A question for you, Ms Fenchel . . .
