Ingrid PittIngrid Pitt (born November 21, 1937 in Poland), is an actress. Born Ingoushka Petrov, during World War II she and her family were imprisoned in a concentration camp. She survived and in Berlin, Germany in the 1950s she met and married an American soldier and ended up living in California. After her marriage failed, she returned to Europe but after a small role in a film, she headed to Hollywood where she worked as a waitress while trying to make a career in the movies. In the 1960s, as "Ingrid Pitt" she appeared in minor roles in a number of mainstream films such as Doctor Zhivago, but in 1968 she co-starred in the low budget science fiction film, "The Omegans." She next had a small, although significant role in the box office success Where Eagles Dare. Pitt next appeared in "The House That Dripped Blood," a gothic horror film that marked the first of a string of early 1970s successes for her in that genre with Hammer Films that elevated her to cult figure status. During the 1980s, Ingrid Pitt returned to roles in mainstream films and on television but her popularity with horror film buffs saw her in demand for guest appearances at horror conventions and film festivals. She has also contributed a column to Shivers magazine and authored several books of fiction in the horror genre, a spy thriller, a drama about life in a concentration camp, as well as children's stories. In 1999, she told her own story in "The Autobiography of Ingrid Pitt : Life's A Scream."
