No, not die as in croak, die as in â€œdieâ€ (the) Veronica. Actually, it is die Veronica Ferres. No, thatâ€™s not right, either. Call her die Ferres. Itâ€™s a German thing, you see. Or a German language thing, I should say. If you become a big enough star or diva or whatever it is you become here (itâ€™s almost always women, otherwise it would be â€œderâ€), people start referring to you with the â€œdieâ€ in front of your last name.
You know, like die Dietrich, die Knef or die Christiansen? It is some kind of secret coded sugar-coated badge of honor, although it can also be a badge of dishonor, too. Itâ€™s complicated. Hey, if itâ€™s German it has to be complicated, thatâ€™s just the way the language is.
Anyway, German used-to-be-hot-before-she-started-worrying-about-her-weight actress Veronica Ferres (think Schtonk) is scheduled to enter the die-league this fall with the release of her upcoming made-for-die-German-TV-film â€œThe Woman from Checkpoint Charlieâ€, or at least thatâ€™s what one or maybe even two journalists in Germany think.
Itâ€™s a touching story about, uh, something. I forget. But itâ€™s got Checkpoint Charlie in it and die Ferres auch so Iâ€™m there, dude. Or maybe I wonâ€™t be, itâ€™s hard to say for sure right now.
