1966-1990

Grandmother Katie Annelise ran a school of acting and dance in Vienna, mother Evelyn was engaged in poetry and singing, played a movie and was the first German stunt woman ^[3] . Katie's father taught economics. Already at the age of 11, Katya was familiar with photographers Jim Reiket Laz Stark and producer Karl Spichs. Subsequently, Katya wanted to pursue an acting career. But before that, she posed for erotic photographs, which allowed her to become a little known and open the way to cooperation with some companies, as well as Cinema and Stern magazines.

Her first film was the 1979 film Schoolgirls from the Walter Boos Zoo Station . Katya succeeded in making this film thanks to her mother Evelyn, who arranged for her to meet with assistant producer Otto Retzer in Berlin, and the main producer Karl Speeches took her to the main role without casting. In the film, she has to bare her body, while she was 11 years old during the filming of the film, although she looked at 16 ^[3] . Katya was also invited to shoot in the film We are children of the Zoo station in 1981, directed by Uli Edel , but when the production studio found out that Katya already had experience in the film about first love and drugs, they refused her candidacy ^[3] .

In 1980, Katya took part in the filming of the series Schoolgirl Report 13 , where she starred as a religious Greek schoolgirl and appeared in only 13 episodes. The series subsequently became a cult ^[3] . In the same year, Katya began to collaborate with the cult director Jesus Franco , whom he met in Alakant, where he made his next film, and invited her to play in his film. In 1983, the film Diamonds of Kilimanjaro of the same director was released, where Katya played the role of Liana - a kind of Tarzan in a female form. Filming took place in the Canary Islands in the summer, when Katya had a school vacation ^[3] . In 1984, Liliana comes out - a perverse virgin , ranked by some as the first Spanish porn movie ^[3] . Katya at the time of filming was 17 or 18 years old and the producers of the film risked going to jail.
