Ingrid van Bergen, 88 years old

As a young girl, Ingrid van Bergen took part in a fairy tale performance for German soldiers on her home leave and then already felt her calling. She got her first roles when she completed her training as an actress and singer after graduating from high school. The girl with the unmistakable smoky voice performed alongside OW Fischer, Kirk Douglas, Heinz Rühmann and Robert Mitchum. The film titles she starred in are as catchy as you can imagine. It includes the films Roses for the Prosecutor, Portrait of an Unknown Woman and Iron Gustav. Today she writes short stories and is actively involved in animal welfare.
