Connection
Sybil Danning is a Actor, Story and Co-Producer American born on 24 may 1952 at Austria (Austria)
Sybil Danning (born Sybille Johanna Danninger; May 24, 1952) is an Austrian actress and model. She is best known for her frequent appearances in B movies during the 1970s and 1980s.
Born in Wels, Austria, Danning spent most of her childhood on military bases and travelling with her family around the world. After their return to Austria, she landed a job as a dental hygienist to support her family following her parents divorce. At the age of sixteen, Danning left her home and relocated to Salzburg, where she enrolled at a school of cosmetology. Working as a cosmetician, she soon got offered fashion shows and photo layouts. She made her screen debut in the German comedy, Komm nur, mein liebstes Vögelein (1968), followed by the role of Kriemhild in the erotic action film, The Long Swift Sword of Siegfried (1971). She continued receiving small parts in films mostly based on her sex symbol image.
In 1978, Danning moved to Hollywood to further her career in American films. Her first film role was in Roger Corman's science fiction cult classic, Battle Beyond the Stars (1980), which established her as a B movie actress. She appeared in a number of films during the 1980s such as Chained Heat (1983), Hercules (1983), Malibu Express (1985), Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf (1985) and Reform School Girls (1986). In 1990, her acting career was delayed after having an accident while rehearsing a film stunt. Suffering from a spinal disc herniation, Danning went on a hiatus from the film industry.
Consciente et lasse de s'enliser dans des productions sans avenir, confinée à des rôles d'amantes flamboyantes ou de valkyries sur-armées, elle profite de l'occasion lorsqu'on lui offre un petit rôle de prostituée dans une production internationale tournée en France, « Barbe-Bleue», de Edward Dmytryk. Mais c'est aux États-Unis où elle connaîtra un succès relatif en tant qu'égérie de série B, en tenant notamment des rôles de grande méchante (Les Anges du mal (Chained Heat) : Ericka).
N'ayant pas été retenue, et de peu, pour les rôles de James Bond Girl dans « Octopussy » et de « Sheena, reine de la jungle », Sybil Danning établit sa propre maison de production, "Sybil Danning Aventure Video", spécialisée dans les productions à tout petit budget de science-fiction, et de film d'exploitation.
Elle se retire vers la fin des années 1980 et ne fera qu'un très bref retour en 2006.

Biography
Sybil Danning passe sa jeunesse entre les États-Unis et l'Autriche. Après avoir essayé de devenir assistante médicale puis esthéticienne à Salzbourg, elle est remarquée par des photographes de mode qui lui proposent de poser pour des magazines féminins et de beauté. Passionnée pour cette nouvelle carrière, la sculpturale Autrichienne décide de percer au cinéma. Consciente que sa beauté de type germanique est son principal atout, elle débute en jouant dans « Komm nur, mein liebstes Vögelein » (exploité très discrètement en France sous le titre « Viens, mon petit oiseau »), un film à sketch historico-érotique allemand où elle incarne la Loreleï dont la blonde nudité tourne la tête des bateliers rhénans.Consciente et lasse de s'enliser dans des productions sans avenir, confinée à des rôles d'amantes flamboyantes ou de valkyries sur-armées, elle profite de l'occasion lorsqu'on lui offre un petit rôle de prostituée dans une production internationale tournée en France, « Barbe-Bleue», de Edward Dmytryk.
