Elga Andersen (1935-1994) was a German actress and singer. She starred in a series of memorable French films in the 1950s and 1960s. Perhaps she’ll be best remembered for her roles in the 1961 film The Guns of Navarone, and alongside Steve McQueen in the film Le Mans (1971). Her singing career was fairly short lived, concentrated mostly in the 1960s around a handful of EPs.
