Gottliebe Lehndorff

Gottliebe Lehndorff, known primarily as a fashion model rather than an actor or director, gained international prominence under the name Veruschka. She was born in East Prussia (now Russia) in 1939 and later moved to Germany due to World War II. Veruschka became one of the most iconic models of the 1960s and 1970s, admired for her statuesque 6-foot frame and ethereal beauty. She made a notable film appearance in Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film "Blow-Up," where she played herself in a memorable photo shoot scene. Her influence extended beyond modeling to various art projects over the years.
