'Ingrid Steeger' (qv) was born Ingrid Anita Stengert in Berlin,
April 1st, 1947, as the third child to Kurt and Kathe 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".
