This very beautiful Viennese actress first attracted notice in a British film of 1963, "The Victors", where her role was small but very showy. Hollywood took immediate notice, although it was a surprise to find her next in a couple of westerns - Sam Peckinpah's brilliant but unpopular "Major Dundee" and the less distinguished "The Glory Guys", both in 1965. Might it be, one wondered, that Hollywood didn't quite know what to do with her? She was just fine as a schoolteacher involved (less innocently than was initially supposed) with neo-Nazis in "The Quiller Memorandum", but, like everyone
… More else, she sank without trace in "De Sade", a preposterous movie casting Kier Dullea as the Marquis. She did television, too, playing a sultry temptress in "The Man From UNCLE" and a glamour girl in "The Name Of The Game", and even turning up as a song-and-dance girl on "The Danny Kaye Show". By the mid-70s, her international career was all but over, but she continued to work steadily in German films and TV. Sam Peckinpah used her again (a small part as a nurse) in his German-made movie "Cross Of Iron" in 1977.
