Elfie Fiegert
Elfie (Elfriede) Fiegert (born 1946) is an Afro-German film actor who became famous as a child actor for playing the lead role in the film ''Toxi'' (1952) filmed when she was five years old. This was followed in 1955 with the film '' The Dark Star'' which has erroneously been described as sequel. At the age of seventeen she had a small role in '' The House in Montevideo'' (1963).
