ACTOR KURT KREUGER DIES
KURT KREUGER, a Swiss-German actor often cast as a Nazi officer in World War II movies and who later became a realtor, has died. He was 89.
Kreuger died on 12 July (06) at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after a stroke, according to his friend LYNNE RIEHMAN.
The actor was born in Michenberg, Germany and was raised in Switzerland.
In the 1950s, he appeared in more than 20 films, including MADEMOISELLE FIFI, his first major role.
Kreuger's good looks made him 20th Century Fox's third most-requested male pin-up photo.
Although he tried to break free from his stereotyped image, Kreuger was frustrated by the studio, who refused to cast him in different types of roles.
He moved to Europe in the 1950s where he appeared in German films.
His last film was THE ST VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE, released in 1967.
After acting on television through the 1960s, Kreuger became a successful realtor in Beverly Hills, California.
