(1907? or '09? - ?)
Teddy Stauffer was born in Switzerland and trained to be a classical musician before switching to jazz in the late 1920s. He led a popular swing band in Europe before leaving for the USA in 1940. He became friends with stars like Errol Flynn, and was briefly married to Hedy Lamarr. Stauffer is given a good deal of the credit for establishing Acapulco as a world-class resort (he initiated the high-diving "clavadistas" spectacle). He appeared in several German films in additional to roles in Mexican movies between 1960 and 1970.
