WERNER KLEMPERER (1920-2000) suppressed his German accent to play the
all-American character role as the timorous press agent in the 1957 film
Kiss Them for Me (1957). The capture of fugitive Nazi official
Adolph Eichmann in 1960 sparked a renewal of interest in war films, and soon
Klemperer found himself playing Eichmann (whom he vaguely resembled) in the 1961
quickie Operation Eichmann. He also essayed a suitably slimy role as a
former Nazi jurist on trial for war crimes in 1961's Judgment at
Nuremberg. Try though he might to break free of the stereotype, Klemperer
was stuck in Teutonic roles, so he resigned himself to recultivating his German
accent and worked steadily throughout the '60s. A low-comedy variation of
Klemperer's standard character made him an international TV favorite: the actor
played the heel-clicking, imperious and incredibly stupid Colonel Klink on the
popular sitcom Hogan's Heroes from 1965 through 1970. GILA GOLAN
(b. 1940), formerly named Miriam Goldberg,is an actress and model
hailing from Poland, adopted during World War II after being abandoned at a
train station. Golan was first spotted for her beauty while attending school to
become a teacher, appearing in the Israeli women's magazine
Lalsha, and later was crowned Israel's Maiden of Beauty in the
1960 national Israel fashion competition. It was due to her winning of the
competition that Golan originally changed her name to avoid work getting back to
her religious benefactors. Golan also achieved second place in 1960's Miss
World pageant, and soon after moved to the U.S., where she signed a contract
with Colombia pictures. She appeared in several films, including Ship of
Fools (1965), Our Man Flint (1966), and Three On a Couch
(1966). However, after marrying a rich businessman, Golan slowly faded from
popularity and now focuses mostly on promoting and enriching the Jewish
religion. Binding holes on right margin. Fine condition.
