Born Elke Schletz in Berlin, Germany, on November 5, 1940, gorgeous actress Elke Sommer was the daughter of a Lutheran minister
and his wife. During the middle of World War II, Sommer and her family moved to Niederndorf, some 300 miles south of Berlin.
Following the end of the war, times were difficult for the Schletz family and became even worse when Sommer's father passed
away in 1955. An avid student of languages, Sommer learned Greek and Latin while in school and moved to London in 1957 to work
as a nanny and to become fluent in English. While on a trip to Italy with her mother in 1958, Sommer was discovered by an
Italian film producer, and in a matter of months she had been cast in several films. Initially, she agreed to the film work
in order to earn enough money for college, but with many film offers coming her way, she quickly decided on an acting career.
Nonetheless, she continued to study languages, and her ability to speak seven languages enabled her to be cast in dozens of
films produced in a number of countries.
