Andrea King Movies
Born in France, blonde leading lady
Andrea King was educated in the United States. In 1944, King was signed to a Warner Bros. film contract. She spent much of her time in femme fatale assignments, with the occasional sympathetic lead in films like
The Beast With Five Fingers (1946). The best of her Warners efforts was
Hotel Berlin (1945), in which King plays a Nazi sympathizer who pays for her treachery when she is shot to death by underground operative Helmut Dantine. After her many tough, vitriolic 1940s assignments, it was a little depressing to watch King play a humorless Christian zealot in the 1952 sci-fier
Red Planet Mars. Ostensibly retired by 1973,
Andrea King made an unexpected but welcome return appearance in the off-the-wall comedy
The Linguini Incident (1992). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
