  • Elke Sommer (born 5 November 1940), born Elke Schletz, is a German-born actress, entertainer, and artist. Sommer was born in Berlin to a Lutheran Minister and his wife. After the war, the family was evacuated to Erlangen, a small university town in the south of Germany, where, despite their lack of money, she attended the prestigious Gymnasium (high school) in Erlangen. However her father's death when she was 14 precluded further formal education, and she moved to England to be an au pair, to perfect her English and earn a living. She was spotted by film director Vittorio De Sica whilst on holiday in Italy, and started appearing in films there in the late 1950s. She quickly became a noted sex symbol and moved to Hollywood in the early 1960s. She also became one of the most popular pin-up girls of the time, and posed for several pictorials in Playboy Magazine (September 1964, December 1967). She became one of the top movie actresses of the 1960s and made 99 movie and television appearances between 1959 and 2005, including A Shot in the Dark (1964) with Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau, The Art of Love (1965) with James Garner and Dick Van Dyke, The Oscar (1966) with Stephen Boyd, Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! (1966) with Bob Hope, the Bulldog Drummond extravaganza Deadlier Than the Male (1966), and The Wrecking Crew (1969) with Dean Martin; Sommer was the leading lady in each of these films. In 1964 she won the Golden Globe Awards as Most Promising Newcomer Actress for The Prize, a film she co-starred with Paul Newman and Edward G. Robinson. In 1972, she starred in two Italian horror movies directed by Mario Bava, which have both become cult classics Baron Blood and Lisa and the Devil. The latter fim was never theatrically distributed in its original form; it was later re-edited (with 1975 footage inserted) to make a very different movie called House of Exorcism (an "Exorcist" rip-off). Elke went back to Italy to star in the additional scenes that were inserted into the movie by its producer, against the wishes of the director. This is probably her most shocking film, featuring a demoniacally-possessed Elke swearing obscenities at her exorcist, spitting out pea soup and actually vomiting live frogs and insects from her mouth! In 1975, Peter Rogers cast her in Carry On Behind as the Russian Professor Vrooshka. She became the Carry On's highest paid performer, at £30,000. Sommer also performed successfully as a singer, making several albums. Since the 1990s, she has concentrated more on painting than on acting. As an actress, she worked in half a dozen countries learning the languages (she speaks seven different languages) and storing up images which she would later express on canvas. Her artwork shows a strong influence from Marc Chagall. Sommer had a long-running feud with Zsa Zsa Gabor that culminated in a libel suit. She now lives in Los Angeles, California.

  • È nata a Berlino, figlia di un pastore luterano e della moglie. Dopo la guerra la famiglia ha dovuto trasferirsi ad Erlangen, una piccola cittadina universitaria nel sud della Germania dove, nonostante le difficoltà economiche, Elke ha frequentato il prestigioso Gymnasium locale. La morte del padre avvenuta quando aveva solo 14 anni le ha però precluso la possibilità di proseguire gli studi, così Elke si è trasferita in Inghilterra come ragazza alla pari per perfezionare il suo inglese e guadagnarsi da vivere. Durante una vacanza in Italia viene notata del regista Vittorio De Sica e a partire dalla fine degli anni'50 ha iniziato a comparire in alcuni film. Diventata ben presto un noto sex symbol, all'inizio degli anni '60 si è trasferita a Hollywood, dove è diventata una delle più popolari pin-up dell'epoca e ha posato in diversi servizi fotografici per la rivista Playboy. Diventa quindi una delle attrici più importanti degli anni '60 e tra il 1959 e il 2005 partecipa moltissimi film e produzioni televisive tra cui Uno sparo nel buio con Peter Sellers, L'arte di amare con James Garner e Dick Van Dyke, Tramonto di un idolo con Stephen Boyd, Un bikini per Didi (1966) con Bob Hope e Missione compiuta stop, bacioni - Matt Helm con Dean Martin; la Sommer in tutti questi film è la protagonista femminile. Nel 1964 ha vinto il Premio Golden Globe come attrice debuttante più promettente per il film Intrigo a Stoccolma, dove ha affiancato Paul Newman e Edward G. Robinson. Nel 1972 Ha interpretato due film horror italiani diretti da Mario Bava, diventati entrambi con il tempo due cult movie, ovvero Gli orrori del castello di Norimberga e Lisa e il diavolo. Elke Sommer si è cimentata con successo anche nel canto, realizzando diversi album. Dagli anni'90 in poi si è maggiormente dedicata alla pittura piuttosto che alla recitazione. Come attrice ha lavorato in mezza dozzina di paesi diversi, imparandone la lingua (parla correntemente sette lingue) e raccogliendo immagini che avrebbe poi utilizzato per la realizzazione delle sue tele. La sua pittura mostra la forte influenza esercitata da quella di Marc Chagall. Elke Sommer ha avuto per anni un'accesa rivalità con Zsa Zsa Gabor, che è culminata in una causa per diffamazione. Attualmente vive a Los Angeles, in California.
