Ingrid van Bergen (born 15 June 1931) is a German film actress. She has appeared in 100 films since 1954. She was born in Free City of Danzig, today Gdańsk, Poland.
Career
Since 1954, Ingrid van Bergen appeared in more than 170 film and television productions. She was a star of German cinema in the 1950s and 1960s, including successful films like the comedy Roses for the Prosecutor (1959). During the early 1960s, the blond-haired actress also appeared as a supporting role in a few international productions, playing a prostitute in Town Without Pity (1961) with Kirk Douglas and appearing in the war film The Counterfeit Traitor (1962) starring William Holden. She also worked as a singer and made some records. She later turned to character roles and is also known for her role in the film Richy Guitar [de] (1985), in which the German band Die Ärzte played an important role. In 2017, Van Bergen made a cameo appearance in Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, the fifth film of the Sharknado film series.
Personal life
On the night of 2–3 February 1977 she shot her lover, the money broker Klaus Knaths, dead. She was charged with murder but was convicted for manslaughter and sentenced to seven years imprisonment. She was released after five years, because of good behaviour, and was able to continue her acting career.
In 2009 at age 77, she was the winner of Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus!, the German edition of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
