Short Description: "Irene von Meyendorff (6 June 1916 – 28 September 2001) was a German-British Russian born actress.

Irene von Meyendorff was of Baltic German origin, born in 1916 in Tallinn (then Reval, Russia), Estonia as the eldest child of a German-Baltic aristocrat. Her birth name and title was Baroness Irene Isabella Margarete Pauline Caecila von Meyendorff. In the early 1930s she came to Berlin to work as a cutter in the UFA film studios of Babelsberg. Her beauty soon landed her first film roles and the attention of Joseph Goebbels. Representing the purest ideal of Aryan beauty, the actress portrayed mostly noble patricians. The sale of her promotional post cards shows that she was the number one pin-up girl among the German Army during World War II." - (en.wikipedia.org 27.02.2020)
