Lovely, slender, and sensuous raven-haired knockout Laurette Marcia Gemser was born on October 5, 1950 in Java, Indonesia. In 1955 Gemser left Indonesia at age four and moved with her parents to the Netherlands. Laura grew up in the Dutch city of Utrecht and attended Mulo Regentesseschool high school. She studied fashion design at the Artibus Art School in Utrecht. Gemser first gained public recognition with her nude modeling in various men's magazines in Belgium and the Netherlands. The exotic dark-haired beauty moved to Italy in the mid-1970's and made her film debut as Janine in the obscure Amore libero - Free Love (1974). However, it was Laura's small, but memorable role as a masseuse in Emmanuelle II (1975) that really launched her career in racy soft-core exploitation fare. Gemser achieved her greatest enduring international cult popularity with her incredibly erotic and uninhibited portrayals of the titular hedonistic and sexually adventurous globe-trotting photojournalist in the steamy "Black Emanuelle" series that were often directed by the notorious Joe D'Amato and frequently co-starred Gemser's real-life actor husband Gabriele Tinti. Other notable parts include charismatic cult leader the Divine One in Divine Emanuelle (1981), evil sorceress Indun in Ator, the Fighting Eagle (1982), and compassionate mutant telepath Lilith in Endgame - Bronx lotta finale (1983). Outside of acting, Laura also worked on a handful of movies as a costume designer. Gemser quit the motion picture business in the early 1990's and still lives in Italy.- Actor

A prominent German film actress born on 30 September 1887 at Madiven, Java, the daughter of a forest ranger in the service of the Dutch authorities. Sent at the age of ten to Baden-Baden to study, she later entered the cinema thanks to her marriage in 1917 to the actor Fritz Dagover who was 25 years her senior. They divorced in 1919 but not before he had introduced her to director Robert Wiene and other notables of German cinema. She made her screen debut in Fritz Lang's Harakiri (1919). Immediately after she appeared in Wiene's classic expressionist film, "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (aka The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)). Apart from three trips -- one to Sweden in 1927, another to France in 1928-9 and one to Hollywood in 1931 -- most of Lil Dagover's career and fate was linked to that of the German cinema, where her role was usually that of the frail, menaced heroine. She continued to star in a great number of films during the Nazi era. Among her best performances were her roles in Congress Dances (1931), in Gerhard Lamprecht's The Higher Command (1935) and in Veit Harlan's The Kreutzer Sonata (1937). She also acted in the Deutsches Theatre Berlin, the Salzburg Festival, at forces shows and at war theaters. At one time, she was reported to have been a close friend of Adolf Hitler. In 1944, she received the War Merits Cross. Dagover continued her career in post-war Germany, playing many supporting parts until the late 1970s.- Barry Prima (real name Bertus Knoch) was born in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. His father was a Dutch physician, his mother Indonesian. They had four children (three boys, one girl), with Bertus being the oldest. His sister graduated from Pajajaran University in Bandung with a medical degree and is a doctor, but Bertus only got his high school degree from Aloysius High School in Bandung.
He learned taekwando in a small martial-arts studio located behind his father's house on Jalan Dago (Dago street). The taekwando master at that time was known as Master Kang, from Malaysia. In his early 20s, Bertus came to the attention of Indonesian producer Gope T. Samtani, who offered him a small role in a picture he was making about cannibals. Bertus took it, the picture--Primitif (1978)--became a hit and Samtani changed Bertus' name to Barry Prima. In his second film he played opposite renowned Indonesian star Suzzanna, as her husband who gets killed in the middle of the movie.
Prima soon became the biggest star in Indonesian films, making a string of action/fantasy films for various studios. He made several pictures with Eva Arnaz and was briefly married to her. Famously reclusive, and somewhat ornery, he seldom gives interviews and in the few he has given often contradicts himself (many interviewers suspect he does it deliberately); he once said that he never wanted to be an actor and never made a good movie because the scripts were always so bad and the budgets were always so low, but later in the same interview he said that he enjoyed making films and liked everyone he worked with.
After several years off the screen, he played a cameo (in drag!) in Upi Avianto's "Realita Cinta dan Rock 'n Roll" (2006). - Director

Devi Dja was born in 1914 on the island of Java. From the time she very small, she was taught to perform the temple dances called the "Legong." Legong dancers generally retire at puberty, but she continued to dance to the delight of her villagers and would eventually grow to elevate the dances into elaborate performances. When she was 16 she met symphony conductor Leopold Stokowski when he visited her island. He saw her perform and invited her to come to England. She did and brought the finest musicians and dancers from the Dutch East Indies with her.
Devi Dja soon began to tour the world and soon became known as the "Pavlova of the Orient," after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova, who performed around the world earlier in the century. Reviews poured in from around the globe. One news reporter saying "Devi Dja attracts the gaze of the audience like a cobra unwinding from a basket."
As World War II approached, she settled in Hollywood where she began choreographing, consulting, and appearing in films which had scenes set in Indo-China. Her most famous role was the 1945 film "The Picture of Dorian Gray," where she played a temple dancer. After the war, she fell in love with a well-known, Native-American artist named Acee Blue Eagle. After a whirlwind romance, they married. Each was an international figure and they traveled extensively, unfortunately, not together. Their careers would eventually break them apart. She then met a gentleman named Ali Assan. They would marry and produce a beautiful daughter Ratna, who would grow to become a fine film actress in her own right.
In 1954, Devi Dja became a naturalized American citizen, the first Indonesian woman to do so. Raymond D. Bowman was her manager for over a dozen years. In 1960 she teamed with him and the great dance legend Ruth St. Denis, to present the first Wayang Kulit or Balinese shadow puppet play, in the United States. It took them 2 years to produce it, but the play was finally performed at St. Denis Theater in September 1962. They decided on the short, condensed version of the Wayang, which would only last 8 hours. Her epitaph reads "May you dance in God's light forever." The short documentary film "I Remember Devi Dja" (2017) is dedicated to her memory.- Rahayu Effendi was born on 30 August 1942 in Buitenzorg, Buitenzorg, Dutch East Indies [now Bogor, West Java, Indonesia].
