About Kristina Söderbaum

Beata Margareta Kristina Söderbaum was a Swedish-German film actress, film producer, and photographer. She performed in Nazi-era films made by a German state-controlled production company, several of them directed by her husband Veit Harlan. In the first few years after the war, Söderbaum was often heckled off the stage and even had rotten vegetables thrown at her. After Harlan's death in 1964, Söderbaum became a noted fashion photographer.
