WamboExposed
He has always yearned for loved. Yet love has always eluded him. As a child, tyrannized by a father who had nothing but contempt for his "weakling" son, the "mama's boy". As a young man shrewdly manipulated by a bigoted, strong-willed mother. As a stage and television actor known for his on-the-button portrayals of Everyman. To his millions of fans, Herbert Stieglmeier is Everyman, the jovial, crafty, rough-hewn but essentially decent type of person they all want to be. But the tragedy of Herbert Stieglmeier is that he actually wants to be Everyman, which forces him to live a never-ending lie. For never will his public accept his craving for handsome young criminals and rough sex, his need to be humiliated and hurt, his crushing loneliness and self-loathing. This is the story of Herbert Stieglmeier, a story that spans a career of fame, wealth and glory—and ends in an apotheosis of shame and squalor.
