German blonde notable set for Princess Di pic
COLOGNE, Germany -- Christoph Schlingensief, quirky director and enfant terrible of the German art world, is taking on another holy cow with his new film: a look at the final hours in the life of Princess Diana. While Schlingensief's crude style and politically incorrect humor is certain to make the film controversial, media attention in Germany is focusing on his choice to play the lead role: German celebrity blonde Jenny Elvers. Elvers is more famous for her partners and party life than her acting ability, though she received some critical praise for her recent performance as a sexy single mother in Detlev Buck's social drama "Tough Enough". "Jenny is my Princess Diana, because, like Diana, she is a screen on which people project their longings and aspirations," Schlingensief told the German tabloid Bild. "Both seem close enough to grasp but they never are." For her part, Elvers says Lady Di has always held an "incredible fascination" for her.
