German Actor Manfred Krug dies aged 79

Description

German actor and singer Manfred Krug, one of the few performers to find fame on both sides of his divided country during the Cold War, has died in Berlin aged 79, his management company said. Communist authorities banned him from performing in East Germany in 1977 after he expressed support for a dissident folk singer and he asked to leave soon after. In West Germany, his career picked up again, as he released songs, published books and starred in television series. Krug became the public face for Deutsche Telekom's gigantic initial public offering in 1996 - only to burn his bridges with his corporate sponsors later by publicly apologizing to shareholders who lost money.
