Ursula Thiess (May 15, 1924 – June 19, 2010) was a German film actress who had a brief Hollywood career in the 1950s.
Thiess began her career on the stage in her native Germany and by dubbing female voices in American films. She left postwar Germany at the urging of Howard Hughes and signed up with RKO. She co-starred with Robert Stack in The Iron Glove (1954), Rock Hudson in Bengal Brigade (1954), Glenn Ford in The Americano (1955), and Robert Mitchum in Bandido (1956).
Family
She met and eventually married Robert Taylor in 1954 and virtually abandoned her film career. They had two children, one of whom, Michael, predeceased his parents, dying shortly before Robert Taylor's death, in 1969.
Ursula Thiess wrote her autobiography, ...But I Have Promises to Keep: My Life Before, With and After Robert Taylor. Thiess passed away on June 19, 2010, aged 86. She was survived by three of her four children.
