Born in Bern in 1929, “Lilo Pulver” studied acting at the school of dramatic art in her hometown.
Abroad from Douglas Sirk (1958) to Billy Wilder (1961)
She soon gained notoriety both in Switzerland and Germany, so much so that in 1958 Douglas Sirk hired her for the leading role in the film “Time to Live”, thus launching an international film career.
“Lilo Pulver” made her mark on film history with her sense of humor and critically acclaimed refined and rebellious performances.
She was nominated for a “Golden Globe” in 1964 and received the German Film Honor Award in 1980.
By awarding her the Swiss Film Prize of Honour, worth 30,000 francs, the Federal Office of Culture (FOC) wishes to highlight the role she has played in world cinema from the 1950s to the present day.
