I read Goodbye to Berlin when we started this project so I could immediately choose my character and start analysing them to create my historical design.
When reading the book, I wanted to choose a character that wasn't so popular because I wanted to use my imagination and research to build up a profile for them. As I was reading, Fraulein Kost stuck out to me because she seemed quite introvert and dishonest with herself. Also, Frl. Kost wasn't in the film very much, so I could create a make up design from my own research without feeling the need to copy the film.
Herr Issyvoo asks about her Japanese customer she replies "we play the gramophone together, you know, and eat chocolates.." Fraulein Kost is clearly lying as Fraulein Schoeder lets Herr Issyvoo know she is a "common prostitute".
Once I had read this part of the book, I instantly knew I wanted to choose Fraulein Kost.
