KRUGER, HILDA

(Katerina Matilda Kruger)

(1912-?)

blonde, German-born actress who worked for the Ufa company but lost her job when the Nazis discovered her then-husband had Jewish blood. She came to the U.S. looking for work but eventually wound up in Mexico in 1941, where she appeared in a handful of 1940s films and was allegedly the mistress of several Mexican government officials in succession (including Miguel Alemán, a future president of Mexico).

By 1948, she was married to a gentleman named "Nacho" de la Torre, and still living in Mexico.
