Biography
German actress, internationally known, having made her screen debut at the age of 14. A member of a theatrical family, her grandmother had been an actress in Viennese theater and her mom, Magda, a famous stage and screen star.
At the age of 19, she starred in the German film, "The Story Of Vicki.. " She became the darling of the German box office, often cast in sugary, cute and coy roles. In 1960, she refused to accept any roles that were not of substance and as a result, landed a role in "Bocaccio 70," for which she was awarded the Crystal Star of French Academie as Best Foreign Actress in 1963. The same year she had her U.S. debut in the comedy, "Good Neighbor Sam."
She had been married to stage director Harry Meyer who hanged himself in his Hamburg apartment. Two and a half years later she lost her only son when he fell out the window of her Paris home, landing on sharp iron bars on 07/05/1981. Her companion of eight years was actor, Alan Delon.
The circumstances of her death in her Paris apartment on 5/29/1982 were unclear. Apparently she died of a heart attack between the hours of 4 and 6 am, but tranquilizers and booze were found in her system, leaving the question of a possible suicide or overdose.
