Kristina Söderbaum -- virulent anti-semite and movie star in Nazi Germany -- died in 2001 at the age of 88. She had
[S]tarred in 10 box-office hits
in Nazi Germany directed by her husband Veit Harlan. She was the pin-up
of the Wehrmacht, admired by Franco and parodied as the Lorelei. She
also achieved a certain distinction as one of the few film actresses of
the Third Reich who did not at some time enjoy a liaison with Josef
Goebbels - a circumstance dictated as much by Veit Harlan's extreme
possessiveness as by the propaganda minister's private predilection for
dark-eyed brunettes. She was later tried by the Allies for war crimes.
As seen below, she was a good bareback rider and something of an archer.
