With his blue eyes, blond hair and youthful smile, Hardy Krüger conquered the German public in the 1950s, before making his way to Hollywood. Born in Berlin in 1928, he was conscripted into the Wehrmacht in the final days of the Second World War, a traumatic experience that would affect him for the rest of his life. He then began a career as an actor under the direction of directors such as Alfred Weidenmann, Helmut Weiss or Rudolf Jugert, before being noticed outside his native country. Polyglot, he speaks fluently in French and English, he became known to the French public in "Un cab pour Tobrouk", where he played opposite Lino Ventura and Charles Aznavour, and conquered America with "Hatari!", by Howard Hawks.
