Sandahl Bergman

Statuesque, icily beautiful blonde actress Sandahl Bergman started out as a Broadway dancer. Bob Fosse cast Sandahl as Cassie in the original production of A Chorus Line, and later spotlighted her in the legendary "topless" number in the 1979 film All That Jazz. Thereafter, virtually all of the actress' film roles were of a mythological bent: Muse 1 in Xanadu (1980), Valeria in Conan the Barbarian (1985), Queen Gedren in Red Sonja (1985), the title character in the 1985 remake of She, and Valkyrie in the made-for-TV TekWar: TekJustice. Befitting her impressive physique and athletic prowess, Sandahl Bergman has been seen to best advantage whenever her self-defense skills are called upon, notably as Spangle in Hell Comes to Frogtown (1987).
