A walk in the Prater, Vienna!


The year is 1960 when these three gorgeous ladies Marisa Mell, Senta Berger and Maria Perschy got together in front of the camera of photographer Peter Brüchmann during their stay at the theatre school Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna, Austria before conquering the movie world by storm. Sadly only Senta Berger is still with us and going strong in the entertainment business in Germany.

Masquerade: rare behind the scene footage!


Although Marisa Mell was quite a star during the height of her career it is not so often that you can see footage of her with behind the scene material during the production of one of her movies! Luckily there is some material available at the moment and probably at lot more hidden in the vaults of production companies and television stations around the world certainly never to be seen ever again! In this clip you see Marisa Mell during the production of her latest movie "Masquerade" in Britain and Spain together with among others her costar Cliff Robertson. What is interesting is the end of the clip when Marisa Mell talks of her beauty and being a movie sex kitten defending herself that she is first and foremost a trained theater actress! Ironically her beauty and being a sex kitten for so long ruined her career in the end and drove her to poverty after a very expensive jet set lifestyle!

The Roman Ivy


Rome, Italy, was once in the 50's and 60's together with Paris and London THE hotspot for the movers and shakers in this world. The advantage of Rome above the other cities was her sunny and warm climate almost all year round so people had a very busy day and night life. And Marisa Mell, being an admirer of the sun, enjoyed each and every minute of it while she lived in that town for more than 20 years. 


And just like her American counterpart the restaurant "The Ivy" in Los Angeles where nowadays you can see actors, agents, and all kinds of movie people eat during their luchtime, Rome had also her "ivy" to cater to people working in the movie business, most of all at Cinecitta! And what better way to be seen with your rich lover, in this case Pier Luigi Torri, than dining on a terrace in front of the restaurant.


If you would like to know more about the passionate love story between Marisa Mell and her playboy then you need to read the Marisa Mell book by André Schneider called "Die Feuerblume", available at Amazon in the US, UK and Germany.
