Hildegard Knef

Hildegard Knef

Highest Rated: 100% Decision Before Dawn (1951)

Lowest Rated: 40% The Lost Continent (1968)

Birthday: Dec 28, 1925

Birthplace: Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Alluring blonde lead in a number of Nazi propaganda films whose performances in two post-war movies caught the eye of producer David Selznick. Knef's refusal to change her name or conceal her past stymied her Hollywood career, though she appeared in several European productions of the 1950s through the '70s.
