Nina Schweser

An excellent movie, especially the part where Sophie Fuhrmann (Nina Schweser ) takes a swim in the sea in the buff, and everybody stares at her like she is a ghost. Nina itself is acting very frankly. She's an excellent actress. I even tried to get an autograph card from her, but she does not have an agency, so I don't know who to address it to. Does anybody happen to know an address of her or somebody else I can send it to? Please inform me. Thank you!
