Gigi Darlene

Biography
Heli Leonare Weinreich (born March 4th, 1943 in Berlin, Germany, died January 1st, 2002 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States of America), better known as Gigi Darlene, was a model, actress and dancer originally from Germany, but moved to the United States of America to live with family friends. She was working as an exotic dancer when she met Barry Mahon and ended up appearing in several of his films, including Nudes on Tiger Reef and The Beast That Killed Women. In 1966, she married the hypnotist Edwin Greal (also known as Charles Lamont) and moved to Fort Lee, New Jersey. Gigi stopped appearing in films around the same time. Edwin and Gigi ended up forming a stage act together and went on the road, until settling in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1975. Five years later, in 1980, the two moved back to Florida, but Edwin passed away later that year. After her husbands death, Gigi obtained a real-estate license in Fort Lauderdale and sold time-share apartments for about 20 years, off and on. She also joined the Screen Actors Guild and started appearing in films again, this time as an extra. She passed away in 2002 due to stomach cancer. Her remains were cremated and her ashes were scattered into the Atlantic Ocean.
