Helga Liné
- Actress
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. 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 When the Screaming Stops (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 Rises from the Tomb (1973) and The Mummy's Revenge (1975).
Helga was especially impressive in the Pedro Almodovar pictures
Labyrinth of Passion (1982) and Law of Desire (1987). More recently Helga Line
has done guest spots on a couple of Spanish TV shows.
