Elke Sommer

As of 2004, she lives in Los Angeles, California. In 1999, her boyfriend David Strickland committed suicide. Her artwork shows strong influence from Marc Chagall. In 2002, she appeared in the film Hollywood Ending by Woody Allen. While continuing to act sometimes, since the 1990s she has concentrated on painting. Her transition to movies has not gone well so far, as most of her movies, including Love Stinks, have been critically panned. She performed as a singer, making several LP records. She later starred in the short-lived action show Fastlane.

She became one of the most popular pin-up girls of the time, and posed for several pictorials in Playboy Magazine. This was very different from her next major role, as a duplicitous vixen on Beverly Hills, 90210. She quickly became a noted sex symbol and moved to Hollywood in the early 1960s. Her first big break in show business was her role on the television program Saved By The Bell, as a nice girl teen. She started appearing in films in Italy in the late 1950s. As a child, she competed in many beauty pageants, and she won the Miss Junior America pageant in 1987. Sommer was born as Elke Schletz in Berlin. She was born in Long Beach, California.
