Marianne Sägebrecht (Starnberg, 1945) is a German actress, known for her distinctive stage presence and eccentric roles.

Her film career gained momentum thanks to director Percy Adlon.

This film earned her immense popularity and defined her image.

She continued to act in international productions, such as Danny DeVito's *The War of the Roses* (1989), where she played a small but memorable part.

Her imposing physique is coupled with a unique expressive delicacy.
