Clarissa von Anstetten (née Prozeski and formerly Kaufmann) is a fictional character on German soap opera Verbotene Liebe (Forbidden Love), portrayed by actress Isa Jank from 1995 to 2001, and again from 2011 to 2013.

Isa Jank first appeared as Clarissa in the show's premiere episode on 2 January 1995, and left on 5 September 2001.

The actress began to have disagreements with the producers over her role and it ended in leaving the show only a little over a year after the Peter Kaufmann story was finished.

Without any official conformation about an exit, Jank had her last tape day in December 2012 after a little bit more than one and a half-year on the show.

When she meets young architect student Arno Brandner, Clarissa falls for him and eventually ends up pregnant.

Barely at legal age, Clarissa gives birth to twins, named Jan and Julia.

As she doesn't know how to handle motherhood, especially with now two infants, Clarissa leaves Arno and her son Jan behind and decides to start a new life with her daughter Julia.

Shortly afterwards, Clarissa meets the young and rich widower Christoph von Anstetten.

She doesn't have to worry about money and it seems as her daughter Julia is about to get engaged to medical student Gero von Sterneck.

Clarissa's marriage to Christoph seems happy even though she makes no secret about having had several affairs to her best friend Charlie Schneider.

Clarissa finds comfort in the arms of Arno, who has returned into her life as he wants to get to know Julia, while Christoph gets closer to Gero's mother Barbara.

While making their lives complicated, Clarissa seems to have found a fair opponent in Tanja Wittkamp, who soon marries Christoph's younger brother Ben after a failed love triangle with Henning and Jan.

As Julia starts to forgive her mother for her past mistakes, Clarissa finds out that Jan is on the island as well.

Hoping for a big family reunion, Clarissa soon has to realize that the old feelings between Jan and Julia are still there.

[4] Julia's marriage to local doctor Ricardo Mendes starts to fall apart and she soon gives into her feelings for Jan, much to the shock of Arno and Clarissa.

While Jan and Julia want to start a new life together, Clarissa can't let go of the past when she finds out that Tanja's still alive.

She looks at her best shot when Tanja is accused of attempted murder of head designer Sonja Jäger.

Clarissa tells Tanja and Sebastian that the collapse of the bank was fake and then decides to leave town.
