I saw an old great action film titled Major Dundee, starring Charlton Heston and Richard Harris. A beautiful actress named Senta Berger caught my eye. Is she still alive? What else did she appear in?

Berger, 60, lives in Munich, Germany, with her husband Michael Verhoeven, a German film director and writer. The Vienna, Austria, native worked in Hollywood for about five years before returning to Europe. Berger met Verhoeven in the mid-'60s when they were both cast in the movie Jack and Jenny. Berger wanted to be a dancer when she was younger, but her ballet teacher discouraged her, saying she didn't have a ballerina's build. She went on to study drama at the Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna. Berger's other credits include Cast a Giant Shadow, The Ambushers and numerous foreign films.
