Ingrid Steeger

These days a recognised mainstream actress of many years standing.
From IMDB:
Ingrid Steeger was born Ingrid Anita Stengert in Berlin, April 1st, 1947, as the third child to Kurt and K?the Stengert, who already had son Udo and daughter Jutta. After school she worked as a secretary when she was discovered by photographer Frank Quade. Soon pinup photos of her appeared in numerous men's magazines, especially SEXY, where even today she is the girl with the most cover shots. She was elected Miss Filmfestival (Berlin 1968) and soon was into movies herself. Her early movies were cheap sex movies, mostly of the "Report" type. Not wanting to use her real name, because her father objected, and not yet having decided on a stage name, her first movie billed her as "Ingrid Stengel".
Her "very" first movie deserves a special mention. Before the age of video, pornos for home viewing were Super 8 shorts and Ingrid starred uncredited in one of those, called "Die perverse Herrin und ihre Opfer" ("The perverted Mistress and her Victims"). This movie had long been forgotten, when at the height of her career Mike Hunter reissued it on video, retitled "Ingrid Steeger's Porno Action". She went to court to stop distribution and won. The same thing happened again when Beate Uhse distributed a collection of old naturalist shots of Ingrid, titled "Ingrid - blutjung und verf?hrerisch" ("Ingrid - youngblooded and tempting"). Again she had to go to court to stop distribution.
A picture - hints more than shows...
According to IMDB her first 'official' movie was in 1968 at the age of 21 so this short pre-dates that.
Should she have an entry?
