Today is the 72nd birthday of German actress Elke Sommer.
Back in around 1980, give or take a year or two, and via circumstances I won't bother to recount, I had the opportunity to come face to face with Ms. Sommer at Heinz Hall. All I can say is that she was the most stunningly beautiful woman I had ever seen up to that point, and no one has come close since.
Of course, I am not including my wife in this accounting.
Anyway, Happy Birthday, Ms. Sommer.
