Ulrike Butz

Between 1972 and 1974, Butz appeared in 28 films, including series like The School Girls (parts four through seven) and The Miner's Wife... Takes Her Pick (parts one, three and four). She also starred in pseudo-documentary report films such as Nurses Report, Sex-Träume-Report, Swedish Lessons in Love, and 14 and Under. Her most demanding role came in The Devil's Plaything (1973), a horror film directed by Joseph W. Sarno. With nearly 30 roles, she was one of the busiest actresses of the genre and one of the few whose acting talent was witnessed. In February 1974, the slim, busty actress (with real, natural breasts) was featured in a photo spread for Playboy magazine.

Butz's life was troubled. She had brushes with drugs, and her father tried to help by financing rehabs, a luxury apartment, and a mannequin apprenticeship, which she dropped out of. In 1976, she served time in prison for theft. After her father died that same year, she slipped back into drugs. In 1979, she was sentenced to prison in Aichach for drug possession. Following successful rehab, she worked as a waitress, began a relationship, and had a son. In 1981, with an inheritance from her father, she opened a costume shop in Munich's Neuhausen district, but it went bankrupt after a few years. Franz Marischka later cast her in two final sex film productions: Laß laufen, Kumpel (1981) and Die unglaublichen Abenteuer des Guru Jakob (1983) with Zachi Noy, Thomas Ohrner, and Sibylle Rauch. She died at age 46 in Munich, and her urn grave rests at the Waldfriedhof.
