November 14 marks the birthday of lithe, sinuous dancer, natural beauty and first-rate swordswoman, Sandahl Bergman. She played only two major iconic roles: lead dancer in the 1979 Bob Fosse film All that Jazz, and Valeria, queen of thieves, in Conan the Barbarian (1982), but what a pair of roles! Combining physical grace with naturalistic charm and sultry yet vulnerable sexuality, her performances in these two films are enough to make her a legend forever and beloved in the hearts of millions.

The seductive but treacherous "first wife" of David Addison, as dreamed by Maddie Hayes (who knew she had that much imagination?)
