Rena Horten

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rena Horten (actually Renate Hütte ; * February 11, 1941 ; † November 11, 2009 ) was a German actress .

Life

Renate Hütte grew up in Berlin-Steglitz . Her first film role was in Artur Brauner's production of Sherlock Holmes and the Collar of Death in 1962 . The next year she played a small role in the Edgar Wallace film Zimmer 13 .

In her third film work, the 1964 literary film adaptation of Fanny Hill , which was again made in Artur Brauner's Berlin studios , she met the director Russ Meyer . She became his partner, moved with him to Hollywood and from then on appeared under the name Rena Horten . In Meyer's next film Mudhoney - In the Garden of Lust , she played the larger role of the gentle Eula, who, together with her sister, portrayed by Lorna Maitland, is urged by her mother to prostitute. Meyer rewrote the role especially for Horten and made her (because of her German accent) a deaf and mute. However, on set she refused to shoot her nude scene with John Furlong in front of the entire crew, so Meyer had to film this scene alone. Accordingly, he cast them in his next film Motorpsycho ... like wild stallions not; Horten was responsible for the make-up there.

The separation from Meyer soon followed. She played a few smaller roles and, as Meyer remembers, lived with another director in Hollywood. After that, their track is lost.
