Vera Gregovic
Vera Gregović (1926 - 2006) was Serbian actress, best known for starring in two early post-WW2 Yugoslav films - Sofka (1948) and Hanka (1955). [1] In some sources she is sometimes erroneously listed as Vera Gregurević.

Her filmography consists of only two roles. First was eponymous heroine of Sofka, 1948 period melodrama also known as the first non-partisan film of post-WW2 cinema. In it she brought attention to herself not only with her beauty and eroticism, but also with strange feature of her character not saying a single word in entire film. [2]

She had to wait seven years for next role. She was hired by Slavko Vorkapić, avantguarde 1920s Hollywood filmmaker who had returned to his native Serbia in order to teach aspiring Yugoslav filmmakers. He cast her in iconic title role of beautiful Muslim Gypsy woman in Hanka. Although the film received good reviews and represented Yugoslavia at 1956 Cannes Film Festival, Vorkapić decided to leave Yugoslavia and returned to United States. Vera Gregović followed him and lived there, abandoning acting career for the sake of painting.

In 1963 Los Angeles she was involved in divorce trial of movie star Linda Darnell and her husband, airline pilot Merle Robertson. She was accused of having child with him and physically assaulting Darnell, which she denied at court. [3]
