Chitra Ratana
Chitra Ratana (actually Mercy Rungrat ; born December 15, 1942 ) was a popular actress in the typical European crime and agent films of the 1960s.
Life
The actress, who comes from Thailand , became popular due to her reserved charm and her beauty, which was perceived as exotic from a German point of view , and was able to convince in her roles in the action and horror subject. In those years she was the film partner of well-known greats such as Thomas Alder , Stewart Granger , Harald Juhnke , Horst Frank , Peter Carsten , Serge Nubret and Sieghardt Rupp .
Chitra Ratana became famous among crime fans with a penchant for high tension through a scene in the Rolf Torring film adaptation of The Curse of the Black Ruby with Horst Frank and Thomas Alder, in which Frank had to tear a web full of poisonous spiders over the actress. Director Manfred R. Köhler demanded the loudest shouting for minutes before Thomas Alder rescued it at the very last second from the hundreds of spiders that crawled around on it - the actress then fell as a result of overexerting her voice on set for four days because of hoarseness. She later returned to her homeland and appeared in several feature films in Thailand.
Ratana's real name, Mercy Rungrat, sounds clear in another pseudonym, Metta Rungrat.
