Helmut Berger was not only a prety face. He was a great actor during a short period yes but he did The Damned, Ludwig and the Garden of the Finzi-Contini. I like also Losey’s The Romantic Englishwoman. Only that it’s more… His autiobraphy is to read also very funny.
Only 78, sadly.
He shouldered an insufferable burden of memories. RIP
