Dietlinde Turban (born August 27, 1957 in Reutlingen, Germany) is a German actress. Her brother is the violinist Ingolf Turban.
Dietlinde Turban's first stage appearance at the age of 19 as Gretchen in Goethe's Faust at the Residenz-Theatre in Munich brought her national fame. In rapid succession she starred in new productions of Lessing's Minna von Barnhelm (as Minna), Shakespeare's Othello (as Desdemona - for which she received the Bad Hersfeld Festival prize for best actress), and in works of Anouilh, Giraudoux and others. She was invited as guest star at the State Theater in Bonn and the Josefstadt Theatre in Vienna.
Thanks to scores of films and plays filmed for television, Mrs. Turban won Germany's coveted Bambi Award by popular vote as Best Actress of the Year (1983). Among her film credits: the title role in Goethe's Stella and Schiller's Love and Intrigue (Luise), the role of Mozart's sister-in-law Aloysia in the French film biography of the composer, a starring role in Sidney Sheldon's American thriller Bloodline, and the part of Euridice in the Jean-Pierre Ponnelle/Harnoncourt adaptation of Monteverdi's Orfeo, the lead-roles in Die Kalte Heimat, Die Undankbare, Peter Schamoni's The Castle in Konigswald and the World War II story Mussolini and I, in which she played opposite Anthony Hopkins.
In 2004 Ms. Turban performed her first One Woman Play Constantly Risking Absurdity which she premiered in Castleton and at the Cherry Lane Theatre, New York. She performed it a year later at the George Mason University and was also invited with this play to Salzburg, Austria, by the American Austrian Foundation, for the inauguration of Schloss Arenberg in 2005. In the summer 2013 she performed Jean Cocteau’s La Voix Humaine at the Castleton Festival.
Ms. Turban Maazel appeared as soloist/narrator with the New York Philharmonic, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the National Symphony Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio, Munich. Ms. Turban Maazel has recorded a number of audio books (Naxos) as well as CDs in collaboration with young composers. She also performs dramatic readings of literary masterpieces both in the United States and in Europe and tours with recitals based on works by Andersen, Fontane, Heine, Kafka, Rilke, Schiller, Thomas Mann (“Das Teufelsgespräch” from Doktor Faustus), and a portrayal of Lou Andreas Salomé.
