Biography
Rodgers is the daughter of Jewish art dealer Saemy Rosenberg,[2] the niece of art historian Jakob Rosenberg and the great-niece of the philosopher Edmund Husserl.[3] Rodgers was born in Germany but emigrated with her family to Amsterdam, London and finally into the United States as refugees from the National Socialist regime in Germany. In Amsterdam, she played marbles with Anne Frank as her family knew the Franks.[4]
Although she worked extensively as a television actress in the 1950s, Rodgers is perhaps best remembered as Lily Carver in the 1955 film Kiss Me Deadly. Her only other film role was in the 1953 New York indie The Big Break. She appeared on the cover of the January 1957 issue of Cosmopolitan, representing "The New Face of Broadway". [citation needed] Rodgers continued to work as a stage actress and director into the new century.[4]
