Vienna (OTS) – In 1966, the life of perhaps the most dazzling Mafia bride in the USA of the 40s and 50s ends under mysterious circumstances on a forest path near Salzburg. The beautiful Virginia Hill (Verena Altenberger) from Lipscomp / Alabama, former lover of famous mafia bosses like Bugsy Siegel or Lucky Luciano, jet set girl of the darkest figures in organized crime, drug courier and seductress, is caught up with her past in her second life in Salzburg .
