Elfie Fiegert

Elfie (Elfriede) Fiegert - born April 1946, in Freising, Bavaria, West Germany - is an Afro-German film actor who became famous as a child actor for playing the lead role in the film Toxi (1952) filmed when she was five years old.

[1] The name Toxi also became widely used as shorthand in the German media when referring to Afro-Germans and their social condition.

[1]: 130 Reflecting upon Elfie's career as an example of racial stereotyping, Heide Fehrenbach suggests that whilst as a child actor, Elfie was typecast as a black child of the US occupation of Germany post 1945; the onset of puberty meant that she became exoticised, sexualised and geographically removed from Germany.

In 1986, it was reported she had remarried, living in Mallorca for the past 9 years and visiting Germany infrequently.
