Liselotte Pulver (born October 11, 1929), sometimes credited as Lilo Pulver, is a Swiss actress.
Pulver was one of the stars of German cinema in the 1950s and 60s, where she often was cast as a tomboy. Despite a wide variety of roles, she is best remembered for the hearty and joyful laughter she displayed in comedies.
Member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 1961
Her daughter Melisande committed suicide in 1989.
Lives on her mansion at Lake Geneva, Switzerland.
Named after Liselotte, Princess Palatine.
Has a son, Marc-Tell (born in 1962).
After attending acting lessons at the Conservatory in Berne, she made her stage debut at the local Stadttheater.
As her roles on Ich denke oft an Piroschka (1955) and Wirtshaus im Spessart, Das (1958) made her very popular in Germany, she was type casted as funny, tomboyish woman, although she wanted too play a sex bomb more often.
Although being considered to play a leading role in Ben-Hur (1959) and El Cid (1961), she had to reject the offers because she had already signed for other projects in Germany. She later said that has been the biggest disappointment in her career.
