Biography
Bethmann was born in Tilsit, East Prussia on 25 October 1929. She first appeared in the 1956 movie Waldwinter and became popular by her Fritz Lang movies like The Tiger of Eschnapur and The Indian Tomb. Bethmann abandoned her career in 1968 and appeared only in a few TV productions afterwards.
She was originally cast for the role of Varinia in Spartacus but only lasted two days. During that time, Anthony Mann resigned as director after a falling-out with Kirk Douglas and was succeeded by Stanley Kubrick who demanded a more experienced actress for the role. Bethmann was replaced by Jean Simmons.[1]
