Sylvia Kristel was born on September 28, 1952 in Utrecht, Netherlands.
She first came to international attention in the early 1970s with
Emmanuelle (1974) for director
Just Jaeckin. Then two more sequels
followed in which she also starred. Included in her credits are a long
list of European films including the film
Julia (1974), in
which she played the lead. In 1979, she came to Hollywood, appearing in
The Concorde... Airport '79 (1979)
for producer
Jennings Lang, who also
featured her in the comedy film
The Nude Bomb (1980). However, this
was all a prelude to the most successful film in Kristel's career --
Private Lessons (1981) -- in
which she played the housekeeper who initiates 15-year-old
Eric Brown to the wonders of sex. The
film grossed over $50,000,000 worldwide. The Dutch actress, who speaks
four languages (Dutch, English, Italian and French), now made her home
in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Sylvia Kristel died at age 60 of cancer in
her sleep on October 18, 2012.
