Swiss-born Marthe Keller began her film career in Germany in the mid-1960s; a decade later, she was working in Hollywood alongside the likes of Bruce Dern (BLACK SUNDAY) and Al Pacino (BOBBY DEERFIELD). Recent years have taken Keller to the stage as an actress and opera director, and her presence continues to light up screens in new films such as AU GALOP.
Double Feature: MARATHON MAN, 1976, Paramount, 125 min. Dir. John Schlesinger. Nail-biting political thriller with Dustin Hoffman investigating the death of his government agent brother, Roy Scheider - and running smack into Nazi-on-the-run Laurence Olivier, in one of his most wildly entertaining performances. Marthe Keller earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Hoffman’s ill-fated girlfriend.
