Czech Mate: Olinka Berova

Pretty Olinka Berova, née Olga Schoberová, in a Continental Film Review article. The lovely starlet is best known for her appearance in Hammer's 1968, The Vengeance of She. Her charms can also be admired in a couple of German Krimi, Das Geheimnis der Chinesischen Nelke (1964), Kommissar X - Drei Grüne Hunde (1967), the German western, Die Schwarzen Adler von Santa Fe (1965) and in the late 1960s sexy historical adventures, Lucrezia Borgia, l'Amante del Diavolo (1968) and Le Calde Notti di Poppea (1969). She was also the first girl from her country to appear on the cover of Playboy (March 1964, Vol. 11 - Iss. 3).

Eurostarlets #31: Sophie Hardy

Lovely French starlet Sophie Hardy in a full-page Ciné-Revue image. Sophie Hardy is known to genre fans for her appearances in Max Pécas's La Baie du Désir (1964), Jesus Franco's Cartes Sur Tables and two German Edgar Wallace Krimi, Der Hexer (1964) and Das Geheimnis der Weissen Nonne (1966 - The Trygon Factor). She often has a stripclub or bathroom scene, revealing her considerable charms. Check out my post on Sophie's shower in Der Hexer here. She also appeared in Don Sharp's A Taste of Excitement (1970) with Eva Renzi.

Eurostarlets #013: Christiane Rücker

Ample bosomed Christiane Rücker on the cover of the 1971 July issue of Ciné-Revue. Rücker played Babette in the 1967, Bava-inspired German horror film, Die Schlangengrube und das Pendel (The Blood Demon) and has various other genre credits, often German Krimis of the late 1960s, like In Frankfurt sind die Nächte Heiss (1966 - Playgirls of Frankfurt), Die Arzt von St. Pauli (1968 - Bedroom Stewardesses), Auf der Reeperbahn Nachts um Halb Eins (1969 - Females for Hire). In 1974, she also appeared as the lovely Krista Lauder in Il Castello delle Paura (Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks), billed as Christiane Royce.

Heroines in Distress (or perhaps just Disarray)

The Shower #001: Sophie Hardy

Lovely Sophie Hardy as Elise, taking a shower in Rialto's 1964 Der Hexer, an enjoyable entry in the German series of Edgar Wallace Krimi adaptions. There is a glimpse of Ms. Hardy's breast, although this is not the first instance of nudity in the Rialto series, that honour goes to 1963's Zimmer 13.
