Her real name being Christa Paeffgen, born in Cologne, father owning a brewery that is still active today (
http://www.paeffgen-koelsch.de). Fleeing Cologne from allied bombardments, father dying in psychatry or in a concentration camp(?) due to wounds and/or shell shock suffered as a soldier. Raped with 15 years. I read somewhere else that she was later treated with a kind of electric shock therapy. A friend of Jim Morrison of The Doors' fame. A son with Alain Delon. Drugs. Heroine addict. Racist. Sounds all "interesting" but sure not a easy or comfortable life.
