BERLIN -- Veteran talent agent Erna Baumbauer, locally known as the Queen of Bavaria for her benevolent reign over the German film industry, will be presented with a lifetime achievement award at this year's German Film Awards, known as the Lolas. Baumbauer has been a central force in the German film scene for decades, discovering and promoting some of the country's biggest stars, including Bruno Ganz (Downfall), Otto Sander (Wings of Desire), Maximillian Schell (Judgement at Nuremberg) and Katja Riemann (Rosenstrasse). At 87, Baumbauer isn't slowing down. She still runs her eponymous agency, one of Germany's largest, out of Munich.
