Biography

Anne G. Sterling, later known as Anne G. Bergman, was a Polish-born actress and dancer who made a name for herself in both Europe and the United States.

She began her career in Yiddish movies and stage shows, and later transitioned to Hollywood, California, where she acted in numerous motion pictures.

Noted for her striking beauty, she was often referred to as "The Polish Ava Gardner" by former heavyweight boxing contender Herman Weiner.

During her time in California, she had the opportunity to meet and work with many famous stars, including Don Ameche, Eddie Cantor, Mickey Rooney, and Sabu.

Bergman typically played the role of a Gypsy girl in horror films such as The Wolfman, Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman, and House of Frankenstein.

In addition to her credited roles, she also had uncredited parts in films like Hollywood Canteen, Stage Door Canteen, Thank Your Lucky Stars, and The Sky's The Limit.

Anne Bergman eventually ended her entertainment career in 1946, when she married U.S. Army war hero Sgt. Hyman "Hank" Bergman, who was awarded the Silver Star Medal.

After moving to Miami Beach, Florida in the 1950s, she worked as an extra in the Jerry Lewis film The Bellboy.

Later in life, Bergman managed the career of her only child, her son Sherman "Big Train" Bergman, who was a kick-boxer and actor.
