Elga was fifty-nine when she died of cancer on December 7, 1994. At the time, she was married to Peter Gimbel, who made headlines in the ‘80s when he launched the Andrea Doria Project, an effort to locate the sunken liner’s bank safe. But during the ‘60s, she was an international star whose beauty was relegated to minor films.

    Elga just blew me away in 'Le Mans'.
    What a true beauty! What a shame she died so young. I'll always remember her as the girl from Steve McQueen's 'Le Mans'. Super!!

    Been watching moves for 64 of my 71 years and Elga was truly one of the all time stunning beauties. What a face!
