Only the dog stayed with him


In the fourth season of "Inspector Rex" - the Munich actor Gedeon Burkhard activates not just the best friend of men but also the best friend of each man: victom of Inspector Alexander Brandner becomes Christiane Hörbigers niece, Mavie. "Vollgas (Full throttle)" titles the first sequence and Burkhard denys credible the rumours, that he would have arrested the beautiful girl after the shootings too. That's «nonsense», sujet, hoax.

Are you tired being a co-star beside the dog? «In May we have conferences about a 5th bracket. We will see if the role is still a challange for me. But at the moment I have no problems with the image of a serial Inspector.»

Alone. The relatinship with Nina Peter (21, step-daughter of the innkeeper Martin Zimmermann) endet after four month, as he told. Burkhard being watchful: «It is right that I am solo again and I enjoy this very much. There is nothing more to say.»

"Always in the mirror". But Nina Peter has more to say: «It was a nice and beautiful love affair in my life but nothing more.» And: «I can't imagine having a relationship with a man watching himself in the mirror all the time.» (Interview: [Nina Peter: «I fell in love with an illusion»]).

Now handsome Burkhard contradicts. This is no matter of vanity. Although, «Of course I am always trying to make the best out of me. But this is very relative. When I watch myself in the mirror and I look horrible then I put on a cap and wait till it gets better. When I go out it is normal that I try to look good and make the best out of me. And I am glad when I look good. Of course, I have this kind of vanity.»


LOVE. Emma Hickox and Gedeon Burkhard have been together for three years. In autumn the british filmcutter went back to London. Delicate anecdotes attend the affair and the break up.




COCK OF THE WALK. He is no child of sadness: Gedeon Burkhard on the "Life Ball 1999". He takes all erotic developments easy.




GOOD FRIENDS. Although the relationship between Nina Peter and Gedeon Burkhard failed they still wonna keep up a good friendship. She just didn't want a man who is watching himself in the mirror all the time.



DREAM & WOMEN. He don't wonna say anything about the perfect woman and his visions about a future girlfriend, «Because I didn't found her jet I can't say anything about it. But I have no special imaginations about a perfect woman. I'm not searching for something specific. It's better going through the world with open eyes and not get stucked on specific attitudes.»

PAST. Problems with being alone and past relationships? «None. I can live on my own very well and I am always free for something new.»
Although many things happened: Emma Hickox, 35, filmcutter and three years on Burkhards side. «Private and past.»
Or the failed marriage with the US journalist Birgit Cunningham (33). This little story was worth a film script. Six years ago Burkhard was in Los Angeles for a loger time 'cause of work. There he got to know Cunningham. They married 1995 but then Emma Hickox appeared.

DELICATE STORIES. Burkhard today, «I am sorry about the way all these things became public. Aside that, there isn't much to say. Only that it hurted me very deeply.» Journalist Cunningham let the public know in 1999 (four years after the divorcem) that she still loves the handsome dog-fancier. Emma, the floozie, had stolen her husband. And the four month lasting marriage have been enougth for Burkhard to get financially rehabilitated. And above all this he was a horrible womenizer.
After a half year the storm calmed down and Emma met her fate like all past love affairs of Gedeon. But Birgit Cunningham regrets, «I was jealous as I heard from a approaching marriage with Emma. I reacted in affect and was a little hypersensitive.» And all of a sudden Burkhard converts from a bad boy to a good guy, «Gedeon was always very good to me.»
