Life

Susan Denbergs was born as the eldest of three siblings in Bad Polzin. Her hometown soon after she was born became part of Poland, whereupon Denberg's parents moved with her to Klagenfurt , where she grew up.

At the age of 18 Denberg traveled to England, where she worked as an au pair . There she met a dancer of the dance group "Bluebell Girls" in the summer of 1963, whom she introduced to their manager. He sent her to Paris for a casting with the founder of the "Bluebell Girls" Margaret Kelly , whom she promptly engaged. In 1964 and 1965 they performed together at the Stardust in Las Vegas. There she met the singer Tony Scotti , whom she married in October 1965. However, the marriage broke up after just six months and was divorced in 1968.

In 1965 she left the “Bluebell Girls” and aimed for a film career. Alongside Stuart Whitman , she played a minor role in her debut Second Hand Murder , released in 1966. Although she was already calling herself Susan Denberg at the time of filming, Warner Brothers launched a publicity campaign that searched across the United States for suggestions for a stage name. However, it stayed with "Susan Denberg". In the same year she played minor roles in American television series, the best known among them as Magda in the spaceship Enterprise episode The Women of Mr. Mudd (episode 1x03).

The production company Hammer became aware of Denberg through Warner Brothers , they left the USA and returned to England to take on one of the title roles in Frankenstein Created a Woman for £ 12,000 . Here she also had her last appearance as an actress. Allegedly Denberg had already signed the contract for the main role in Young, Blond and Deadly (English. The Vengeance of She ), but drug problems prevented another film career.

The Playboy published photos of Susan Denberg as Miss August 1966, in April 1967, she was among the finalists in the election for Playmate of the Year 1966th

Susan Denberg has two children and lives in Austria.
