Helga Anders

Helga Anders (11 January 1948 – 30 March 1986)[1] was an Austrian actress.

She was born Helga Scherz in Innsbruck, to an Austrian father and a German mother, and she grew up in Ruhpolding and Bielefeld after her parents divorced. She made her stage debut at the age of eight.

Anders is best known in Great Britain for her part in the Yugoslav-German television series The White Horses, and is also remembered for playing several roles in the German TV series Derrick.

Personal life

She had a daughter, Tatjana Leslie, with the actor Roger Fritz.

She appeared as one of 28 women under the banner We've had abortions! (Wir haben abgetrieben!) on the cover page of the West German magazine Stern on 6 June 1971. In that issue, 374 women publicly stated that they had had pregnancies terminated, which at that time was illegal.[2]

Death

Her addictions with alcohol and drugs resulted in her death at 38. She died of heart failure in Haar, Bavaria, Germany.
