Preview (beginning of the article)

We have arranged to meet Uschi Glas at Nymphenburg Palace, one of Munich's most magnificent palaces, once the summer residence of the Bavarian kings and a famous film set. Even Romy Schneider filmed here. When Uschi Glas heard that we wanted to talk to her here about her passion for cars, she was immediately hooked, as she has rarely spoken about it. A shame really, she says. Cars are one of her greatest passions and have also shaped many of her film roles. Uschi Glas drives up in her beige Smart Fortwo. Nothing off the peg, of course: a Brabus, 109 hp - a real racing car. She likes being here in the palace gardens, the second largest green space in the city. She jogs a few laps here as often as she can, she says. The woman is almost 80, but you wouldn't know it by looking at her.
