Elke Sommer

Elke Sommer was born in Berlin before she moved to the United Kingdom to make a living and develop her English-speaking skills. During her vacation in Italy, she was discovered and was then cast for Italian films beginning in 1958. When she received an offer to pose for a magazine, she called the moving company to transfer to Hollywood. She received a Golden Globe award for her performance in The Prize, but she also had other noteworthy appearances in TV shows and films such as The Oscar, A Shot in the Dark, The Art of Love, and Deadlier than Male where she played the female lead.

In the 90s the stunning actress decided to devote most of her time to painting rather than acting. Did you know that through her work, she was able to learn the native languages of each country that she visited? Needless to say, she made the most of her time in the spotlight.
