Frankfurt, Germany, January 22, 1963: Actress Lotte Lenya, who starred in the original production of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht's The Threepenny Opera, stops at Rhein-Main on the way to New York with husband Russell Detwiler, right. Brecht, Lenya and her then-husband Weill fared extremely well with most of the critics in pre-World War II Europe, but the one who counted — Hitler — forced them to flee Germany in 1933 and condemned their work as degenerate. Lenya performed on Broadway in Cabaret in the 1960s, and her film roles included villainess Rosa Klebb in the James Bond movie, From Russia with Love, and a masseuse in Burt Reynolds' Semi-Tough. Lenya is also remembered through Bobby Darin's reference to her in his hit version of "Mack the Knife," from The Threepenny Opera.
