The End - the Classic Film Obituary thread 2017 [CLOSED]

Austrian theatre star Christine Kaufmann has passed away at the age of 72. Kaufmann had an interesting career in movies which took her all around Europe. She was part of the cast of 'Girls In Uniform' (1958), a major remake that elevated several young actresses towards stardom; later in Germany, the country of her childhood, Kaufmann would become an integral part of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's revolving stock company. In Italy, she was appreciated for her comic chops, but also appeared in adventure films and historical pieces. Her occasional forays in Hollywood proved to be a source of personal happiness, for she enjoyed spending time in America. Christine Kaufmann was a bright, intelligent performer who lit up the silver screen.




Christine Kaufmann Rest in Peace
