according to this post in the link regarding the Freddie's Loves Documentary:
"Hello there,
thank you very much for the documentary...
I was living in munich and partying every night, when Freddie was there too.
I met him several times at the P1, the "Miss Henderson " (the club where 1 of the Videos for his solo album was filmed) and at several other places.
His "Girlfriend Barbara Valentin " was a very good friend of my parents..
I didn't know that she passed away.
In my opinion : Freddie Mercury was the biggest voice of the 20th century !"
wow....just saw it over the web.....
I don't know this kind of things....I just can't get used to this kind of news regardless of who was the one...
They simply don't stop making me feel shivers down my spine......
"MUNICH, GERMANY--Buxom character actress Barbara Valentin, "the German Jayne Mansfield," whose TV and movie career spanned three decades, and who gave European tabloids plenty to write about, died hereFeb. 22. She was 61. She suffered a brain hemorrhage early in 2001, and was in a coma for a quite some time, and was later confined to a wheelchair. According to friends, she had just returned home from a six-week rehabilitation treatment."

We were in Munich in January 2001 and she already was on a wheelchair at that time, I'm quite sure about that (we haven't met her, it's just what we heard).
