Born in Germany in 1940, Elke (Schletz) Sommer moved into acting from a modeling career.

Combining sophisticated sensuality with an innocent, child-like quality, Muti was particularly effective in two of Marco Ferreri’s psychosexual onslaughts, “The Last Woman” (1976) and “The Future Is Woman” (1984).
