Life

Alena Pencová made her film debut as a teenager during the thaw in her communist homeland, when the Prague Spring came to an abrupt end five days after her 19th birthday in August 1968. As a result of the invasion of Czechoslovakia by troops from several Warsaw Pact states, she left her home and fled to the Federal Republic of Germany. There she has been able to continue her career since 1969, mostly under the Germanized name Alena Penz (more rarely: Penc).

Most of the time, the attractive, light-blonde young woman was used in largely textile-free sex and comedy films in which she often appeared naked. The well-known director Rudolf Jugert gave her one of her few “chaste” leading roles in his fairy tale film Die Gänsemagd in 1971 , where she played the heroine under the pseudonym Alena Sörje. After further films, the shooting of which also took her to Italy several times, Alena Penz's career gradually came to an end in the early 1980s. After her last film, in which she only played a very small role, her trail is lost. In the early 1970s, Penz had - again bare-breasted - graced one or the other cover picture of relevant magazines such as “ Praline ” and “Wochenend”.
