Her measurements are close to 90-60-90. Her long salt-pepper hair falls loosely over her petite back. Her voice is smoky, her demeanor incredibly self-confident. Eveline Hall is an actress and model – now aged 70.
January 2011, Eveline Hall steps onto the catwalk at the Michalsky Stylenite. The hips sway gracefully, the lips are pursed, the audience goes wild. Eveline Hall started her modeling career back then – at the age of 65. Between all the skinny chicks, she is a floating grace. She only models because she doesn’t want to spend her time playing bingo and talking about her daily dose of pills like other elderly people. She is not a grandmother either. Because she never wanted children.
Hall was born in Greifswald in 1945. Her mother Gisela was a dancer, her father the actor Kurt Klopsch. She grew up first in Berlin, then in Hamburg in the modest circumstances of the post-war period. As the daughter of a ballerina, she grew up dancing. Her mentors Peter von Dyk and Rolf Liebermann raised her to become a classical solo ballet dancer, and at the age of 15 she danced at the Hamburg State Opera. At some point, she became bored with the strict rules of a prima ballerina and provincial Hamburg. In her mid-20s, she moved to Los Angeles and danced there as a showgirl in the Bluebell Group at the Lido, worked with Siegfried and Roy, and partied with Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand and Tina Turner. During one of the long, excessive nights, she met the handsome Cherokee Indian David Hall. A hot-tempered, jealous man. They got married. The marriage failed. And yet she still bears his surname today, he was her great love. Shortly after the separation, Eveline Hall went to France, where she began her “third life” as an actress in the theater. She played in Basel, Munich, Hamburg, Vienna, Strasbourg and met her toyboy Serge in posh France. 23 years younger. Everything was perfect for nine years. After the death of her father and the suicide of her gambling-addicted brother, Hall said goodbye to Serge and went back to Hamburg. Everything from the beginning. She swapped her apartment in Aix-en-Provence for the 65-square-meter hut of her childhood. Back in Germany, Hall ended up working for a people agency. The foundation for life number four was laid: as a model – at the age of 60. Hall published a book about her zigzagging life. In “I’m getting out and doing my own show”, she describes what determined her life far away from herb gardens and fennel teas. Her debut album “Just A Name” was released in June 2015. You can hear her smoky whiskey voice on it. Eveline Hall has never smoked, she only knows alcohol in the form of red wine with a juicy steak. She loves food just as much as she loves her life, which she is constantly rediscovering. Even at almost 70.
