Timeline

1972

Son of Otto Johannes Fröbe, a shoemaker, and his wife Alma (d. 1972).

1969

Had two sons, Utz (with Clara Peter) and Andreas Seyferth (son of Tatjana Iwanow, adopted by Fröbe in 1969), and one daughter, Beate Fröbe (daughter of his last wife Karin Pistorius, adopted by Fröbe in 1978).

1965

Received much criticism in 1965 when it was revealed he had been a member of the Nazi party in Germany from 1929 until 1937. It then transpired that he had helped two Jews leave Germany.

1964

Tall, portly built German born actor (and talented violinist) who notched up over 100 film appearances, predominantly in German-language productions. He will forever be remembered by Western audiences as the bombastic megalomaniac "Auric Goldfinger" trying to kill Sean Connery and irradiate the vast US gold reserves within Fort Knox in the spectacular "James Bond" film Goldfinger (1964). However, due to Fröbe's thick German accent, his voice was actually dubbed by English actor, Michael Collins.

Whilst commonly perceived as cold hearted & humourless from his Goldfinger (1964) portrayal, quite to the contrary, Fröbe was a jovial man and a wonderful comedic performer.

1960

Mabuse (1960), The Return of Dr.

1948

His light hearted talents can be best viewed in The Berliner (1948), Der Tag vor der Hochzeit (1952), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), and Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 hours 11 minutes (1965). Fröbe also portrayed dogged detective Kriminalkommissar Kras/Lohmann pursuing the evil Dr. Mabuse in The 1,000 Eyes of Dr.
