Helga Liné

Gorgeously svelte and classy redhead stunner Helga Line was born as Helga Lina Stern on July 14th, 1931 in Berlin, Germany. Helga began her career as a dancer and acrobat in circus performances in Portugal. She also later worked as a model. Line began acting in movies in the early 40s.

Some web sites say incorrectly that her birth year is 1932, but according to an interview she gave on October 2018 to Spanish diary La Vanguardia, she born in 1931.

One of many German children who took refuge in Portugal during World War 2, she starred in Porto de Abrigo (1941), then had a career as a circus acrobat and, later, a vaudeville artist until movies took her through Europe--Spain, France and ultimately her motherland, Germany.

Helga moved to Madrid, Spain in 1960. Line immediately established herself as a hugely popular and prolific actress in a large volume of horror pictures, spy films, thrillers and Westerns made throughout the 60s and 70s.

Best known as the alluring spy Natasha in the terrific period Gothic fright feature treat Horror Express (1972), her other memorable roles include an enticing sea siren in the immensely enjoyable The Loreley's Grasp (1973), a predatory vampire countess in the terrifically trashy _The Vampires' Night Orgy (1972)_ *qv), and the seductive middle-aged leader of a Satanic cult in the steamy _Black Candles (1982)_.

Line starred with Spanish horror icon Paul Naschy in two entertaining offerings: Horror from the Tomb (1973) and The Mummy's Revenge (1975).
