German actress Karin Baal has left us at the age of 84, on November 26th.  By pure chance, she learned that the director Georg Tressler was in the process of casting for the female lead for his new film Teenage Wolfpack (1956). Without any formal acting training whatsoever, she passed her audition and was selected for the coveted role as one among 700 other hopefuls. That movie set the tone for her subsequent gallery of young rebels, delinquents and temptresses in films like Judge and Juvenile (1960), D ie junge Sünderin (1960) (which garnered her a 1960 Bambi as Best Upcoming Actress) and Rosemary (1958). Conversely, she also portrayed 'damsels in distress' in the Edgar Wallace potboilers Dead Eyes of London (1961) and The Horror of Blackwood Castle (1968). Other movies include Hannibal Brooks 1969, What Have You Done to Solange? 1972, Fassbinders' Lili Marlene and Lola 1981 and von Trotta's Rosa Luxemburg 1986. R.I.P. Karin Baal
