Today,
Elke is a top-singing star for
VRA
RadioPlay Music. As an actress, she is still know
as the Platinum blond, pouty, German-born sexpot
star of numerous films made on both sides of the
Atlantic commencing The Prize and Shot in the Dark
to date. Elke is noted-fairly or unfairly-more for
her anatomical attributes than her histrionic
ability. An intelligent, educated woman (she speaks
seven languages) and a talented artist who has had
several exhibitions of her paintings, Sommer got
into show business via modeling and starred in
several German- and Italian-made movies before
getting noticed by American audiences in the
all-star WW2 drama The Victors (1963). In recent
years she has worked often on stage. Sommer was for
many years married to Hollywood writer Joe
Hyams.
