Mini-bio: It was once said of aquatic film personality Esther Williams that "Wet she was a star". Substitute the word "naked" for "wet" and you've summed up the career of Dutch-born actress Sylvia Kristel. Brea... read moreking loose from her strict Calvinist upbringing, Kristel headed for the wide-open town of Amsterdam. She became a model, ultimately winning the Miss TV Europe Contest. Kristel entered films in 1972, and within two years settled into the erotic Emmanuelle escapades which earned her worldwide fame. Even Sylvia Kristel's mainstream efforts -- Lady Chatterly's Lover, Mata Hari etc. -- have contrived to keep her in a state of near-permanent undress. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Replace this image with an actor photoSylvia Kristel mini-bio: Sylvia Kristel was born on September 28, 1952 in Utrecht, Netherlands. She first came to international attention in the early 1970s with "Emmanuelle" for director Just Jaeckin. Then two more sequels followed in which she also starred. Included in her credits are a long list of European films including the 1974 film, "Julia" in which she played the lead. In 1979, she came to Hollywood, appearing in "Airport '79 -- The Concorde" for producer Jennings Lang, who also featured her in the comedy, "The Nude Bomb." However, this was all a prelude to the most successful film in Kristel's career -- "Private Lessons" -- in which she played the housekeeper who initiates 15-year-old Eric Brown to the wonders of sex. The film grossed over $50,000,000 worldwide. The Dutch actress, who speaks four languages (Dutch, English, Italian and French), now makes her home in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
