![]() Avg.User Rating: Rate this person: Actor Born: February 22, 1936 in Wiesbaden, Germany Biography:Redheaded German leading lady "Karin Dor" began showing up in European films in 1955. Only a handful of Dor's straight dramatic films have been seen in America, though her more saleable Westerns, sci-fi films, and horror-melodramas have gotten much play in U.S. theaters. Of her Western appearances, the one receiving the widest exposure was her heroine stint in the two-part "Winnetou" (1965); her more familiar horror flicks include "The Invisible Dr. Mabuse" (1960) and "The Face of Fu Manchu" (1962). Among "Karin Dor"'s English-language films were the James Bond opus "You Only Live Twice" (1967) and "Hitchcock"'s "Topaz" (1969), each of which afforded the actress a spectacular death scene. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
