Christine Kaufmann

Christine Kaufmann, who died in 2017, lived a life that spanned the whole entertainment world, from child actor and ballet to stage, film and television. Winning the Golden Globe for New Star of the Year for Town Without Pity made her the first German so honored, and she carried that early international glamour into a long career. The daughter of a German father and French mother, later married for a time to Tony Curtis, she sat right inside Hollywood's golden era. Staying near the front line that many decades takes real grit. Her own life reads like a film.
