Susan Denberg - - - Miss August 1966
Miss August 1966 was the lovely and talented Susan Denberg, a cult hottie of yesteryear who is somewhat obscure today but still beloved by vintage sci-fi and Hammer horror film fans. She was born Dietlinde Zechner in Bad Polzin, Germany, (now Poland) on August 2, 1944. Susan Denberg made her motion picture debut in the 1966 film "An American Dream". Ms. Denberg subsequently appeared on the then-fledgling sci-fi series "Star Trek" as Magda Kovacs, one of the three mail-order bride hopefuls voyaging to Ophiucus III with honey-tongued con man and Venus drug purveyor Harcourt Fenton in episode #3, “Mudd’s Women”, which originally aired October 13, 1966. She next appeared in the 1967 horror film "Frankenstein Created Woman" alongside perennial Hammer favorite Peter Cushing.
