A very special thanks goes out to Sybil Danning. Without her, this opening would not have happened. She has been a big, and important part of our team. She is a very diverse, and wonderful actress, and friend.
Tall, leggy, buxom and statuesque 5' 7" blonde beauty Sybil Danning
reigns supreme as one of the sexiest, most dynamic and commanding
actresses to achieve cult B-movie queen status. Sybil was born as
Sybille Johanna Danninger on May 24th, 1952 in Wels, Austria. She's the
daughter of a US Army major. She grew up on Army bases in such places
as New Jersey, Maryland and Sacramento. Sybil attended Etontown's Star
of the Sea Catholic School. At age 14 Danning worked for her uncle as a
dental assistant. At age 16 Sybil moved to Vienna and worked for a
dental supply company. She then relocated to Salzburg and worked as an
assistant to a top oral surgeon. Danning then enrolled in the Buchner
School of Cosmetology in Salzburg and received a diploma in facial
treatment, decorative make-up, manicure, and body massage. Sybil soon
began doing fashion shows and photo layouts. Danning made her film debut
as Lorelei in "Come Now, My Dear Little Bird." She next portrayed
Kriemhild in "The Long Swift Sword of Siegfried." Sybil studied for
three years with noted Munich drama coach Annemarie Hantschke. Danning
made memorable appearances in such mainstream features as "Bluebeard,"
"The Three Muskateers," "Crossed Swords," and "The Concorde ... Airport
'79." Sybil also continued to act in such enjoyably lowbrow
exploitation items as "Naughty Nymphs," "The Loves of A French
Pussycat," and "Cat in A Cage." Danning was especially excellent and
impressive as the fierce Valkyrie warrior woman Saint-Exmin in the
delightful sci-fi treat "Battle Beyond the Stars." Other notable roles
are tough prison
inmate Ericka in the babes-behind-bars classic "Chained Heat," a
formidable female sword-fighter in "The Seven Magnificent Gladiators,"
wicked werewolf queen Stirba in "Howling II: Your Sister Is A
Werewolf," a cunning femme fatale English professor in "They're Playing
With Fire," the Queen of the Moon in the hilarious "Amazon Women of the
Moon," the strict Warden Sutter in the amusing chicks-in-chains parody
"Reform School Girls," an alien queen in "Phantom Empire," and a rugged
lady bounty hunter in "L.A. Bounty." Sybil has done guest spots on the
TV shows "Vega$," "Simon & Simon," "V," "Masquarade," "The Fall
Guy," "The Hitchhiker," "Street Hawk," and "Superboy." Danning did a
ten page pictorial for the August 1983 issue of "Playboy." Outside of
acting, Danning has also worked on several movies as a producer and
wrote the story for "L.A. Bounty." After a regrettably lengthy absence
from acting, Sybil Danning has made a welcome comeback
by appearing as an evil Nazi villainess in the "Werewolf Women of the
SS" mock trailer for "Grindhouse" and a nurse in Rob Zombie's
"Halloween" remake.
"Norse legend has it, as the Valkyries rode through the land after battle, a child, a blond haired Valkyrie daughter, asked to stay. She wanted to live here on earth, rather than return to Valhalla. When told she could not stay, this stubborn Valkyrie daughter jumped off the back of the horse. She was never seen again.
