Lovely and sultry blonde actress/model Ingrid Goude was born in 1937 in
Sandviken, Sweden. Her parents were Edward and Valdy Goude. Her father
Edward was the manager of a steel plant. Ingrid won the Miss Sweden
Beauty pageant in 1956. She subsequently placed as second runner-up in
the 1956 Miss Universe contest and was first runner-up in the 1956 Miss
Europe pageant. Goude signed a contract with Universal Pictures on July
25, 1956. Her initial salary was $150 a week. Ingrid parted ways with
Universal eighteen months later. She went on to act in a handful of
movies and TV shows. Goude made her debut with a bit part in the gritty
film noir drama Kreuzverhör (1957). Among her more memorable roles
are bride Beulah in the comedy Western Once Upon a Horse... (1958),
blacksmith's daughter Hilda Jansen in the Will Rogers Jr. comedy
Western romp Der Tod reitet mit (1958), and a secretary in the raucous musical
comedy outing Das ist Musik (1958). Ingrid achieved her greatest enduring
cult popularity as fetching damsel-in-distress Ann Craigis in the
delightfully schlocky low-budget creature feature horror howler Die Nacht der unheimlichen Bestien (1959). Moreover, Goude made guest appearances on the
television programs Flight (1958), Steve Canyon (1958), Richard Diamond, Privatdetektiv (1956), Johnny Staccato (1959), and The Best of the Post (1960). Ingrid
married department store mogul Jerome K. Ohrbach in April, 1962. The
couple took up residence in Beverly Hills, California after spending
their honeymoon in Europe. Ingrid eventually divorced Ohrbach in 1976
and married Paramount Pictures vice president Arthur Ryan. She
eventually split from Ryan as well and got married a third time to New
Orleans multimillionaire Frederic B. Ingram on February 19, 1983.
Ingrid Goude was last reported living in Santa Barbara, California.
