Interview with Marlene Charell - Host of the Eurovision Song Contest 1983: The surprise guest of the recent edition of the OGAE Germany Convention in Munich, Germany in March was none other than Marlene Charell who hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 1983 that came from Munich in Germany with Luxembourg winning the contest by Corinne Hermes with the song "Si la vie est cadeau". The show came from the then Rudi-Sedlmayer-Hall now called the Audi Dome, and was hosted by Marlene Charell in three languages. Also she was the show's dancing Interval Act as well. In the late 60s Marlene Charell was the Superstar and lead dancer in the Paris Lido in France. You can watch the Eurovision Song Contest 1983 by clicking here - Eurovision 1983.
