Kurt Raab (20 July 1941 – 28 June 1988) was a West German stage and film actor, as well as a screenwriter and playwright. Raab is best remembered for his work with German film director Rainer Werner Fassbinder, with whom he collaborated on 31 film projects. ==Biography== Raab was born in Bergreichenstein, Sudetenland, which is now Kašperské Hory, Czech Republic. He completed the abitur at Musische Gymnasium Straubing, and studied in Munich. He made his cinema debut in Fassbinder's ''Liebe ist kälter als der Tod'' (''Love Is Colder than Death'') in 1969. Over the next few years, he made numerous films with Fassbinder, including ''Warum läuft Herr R. Amok?'' (''Why Does Herr R. Run Amok?'') and ''Der Amerikanische Soldat'' (''The American Soldier'') in 1970, ''Warnung vor einer heiligen Nutte'' (''Beware of a Holy Whore'') in 1971, and ''Der Händler der vier Jahreszeiten'' (''The Merchant of Four Seasons'') in 1972. He also worked as a production designer, assistant director, producer, and a screenwriter. On 28 June 1988, at age 46, Raab died of AIDS related complications. Before Raab died, he worked to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS in Germany. In 1987 he discussed his illness in Herbert Achternbusch's ''Wohin?'', a film about AIDS-hysteria.〔() Internet movie database, retrieved 7 June 2009〕 In 1988 he made ''Mitten im Leben'', a documentary about AIDS, for Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen.〔() Kurt Raab filmography, retrieved 11 June 2010〕 However, the illness remained poorly understood and Raab was placed in quarantine-like conditions in the Hamburg Tropical Institute. Prejudice about AIDS was also evident when Raab's body was refused burial in Steinbeißen, the Lower Bavarian town in which his family had settled in 1945.〔 He is buried in Ohlsdorf Cemetery in Hamburg.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kurt Raab」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
