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, 1947 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.
