Sylvia Lopez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sylvia Lopez (1931 - November 20, 1959) was a European model and actor.
Born Tatjana Bernt, in Austria, she was raised in Paris, France where she began a career in modelling. Eventually she modeled for couturier Jacques Fath, the first French fashion designer to export his creations to the United States. Appearing under the name "Sylvia Sinclair", Bernt earned enough exposure to attract the attention of film producers.
In November of 1956 she became the second wife of the French composer Francis López. As Sylvia Lopez, she made her first of two French-language films following which she appeared in several Italian swashbucklers with American stars such as Steve Reeves and Lex Barker that were commercially successful and for which she received favorable reviews.
Diagnosed with leukemia, Lopez died while working on the set of Voulez-vous danser avec moi?, a French film with Brigitte Bardot.
