Greta Thyssen, R.I.P.

Greta Thyssen, the one-time Miss Denmark who became a movie star, has passed away in New York at the age of 90.  She appeared in several movies including Accused of Murder (1956), The Beast of Budapest (1958), Catch Me If You Can (1959), Shawdows (1959), Terror Is a Man (1959), Three Blondes in His Life (1961) and Journey to the Seventh Planet (1962).

Like you, I've seen none of those movies.  So how do I know of Ms. Thyssen?  Because she also appeared in three Three Stooges shorts released in 1958 and 1959, all films with Joe Besser as the third Stooge.  She was lovely in all three, even with pastry all over her face — which occurred in two out of her three films.  If it is possible to be sexy with meringue all over your kisser, she managed it.

This obit will tell you more about her career.  She sure was pretty.
