The German model Tatjana Patitz, who entered the pop imagination by playing the famous video for George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90” (1990), has died at the age of 56. The news was revealed on Wednesday (11/1) by her agents, but the cause of her death was not revealed.
Tatjana was one of the main stars of the supermodel era of the 80s and 90s. In George Michael’s video, she appeared alongside other supermodels of her generation, such as Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington.
While it had bigger repercussions, this wasn’t the only clip of his career. Before “Freedom”, she also participated in the videos for “Skin Trade” (1987) and “Burning the Ground” (1989), both by Duran Duran. At the time, she was one of the most famous models in the world.
“Tatjana has always been the European epitome of chic, like Romy Schneider-meets-Monica Vitti. She was far less visible than her peers – more mysterious, more grown up, more unattainable – and that had its charm,” wrote the director of Vogue magazine, Anna Wintour, in a tribute posted on social networks in the morning.
The supermodel has been photographed on the covers of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Marie Claire, among many other publications, and has modeled for luxury brands such as Chanel and Versace.
Her runway career also landed her film roles. Tatjana played herself in Robert Altman’s classic comedy ‘Prêt-à-Porter’ (1994) which satirised the world of fashion, as well as appearing in an episode of the sitcom ‘The Larry Sanders Show’ (in 1995). She also ventured into other roles, making small appearances in the thrillers ‘Rising Sun’ (1993) and ‘Restraining Order’ (1999).
Last screen appearance was in a music video by the band Korn, “Make Me Bad”, in 2000.
