Her longtime companion Horst Kettner said she had quietly fallen asleep at her home in the Bavarian town of Poecking on Monday afternoon.Riefenstahl also made the film Olympia, a documentary on the Berlin Olympics of 1936. Critics said her work glorified a regime responsible for the deaths of millions. But she was adamant she was not a supporter of the Nazis, and had done the films for art and not politics.
