About Ira Hagen as 'Monica'


Very nice & beautiful girl. Born in January 1, 1945, there is no any information about her birth place, but if she born in Germany, It's happened in during the war but she was lucky I think, she was in the very very small age (Five months to finish to war for Germany)she didn't see the war, probably her family seen very hard times & tried to everything for care, protect & raise her, because in that time period Germany was in the ruin & poverty situation. There is no too much information about her in Web . She's appeared a couple movies between 1966-68.

Playgirl (1966)
Funeral in Berlin (1966)
Murderers Club of Brooklyn (1967)
Man Only Cries for Love (1968)

She got an interesting short role in "Funeral in Berlin" (1966)with "Michael Caine".
Michael Caine played "Harry Palmer". Her name was "Monica" in the movie and dialog goes like that; Harry Palmers (Spy name is Edmund Dorf) friend introduces him to Monica; "Monica, this is Edmund Dorf.He's English". Monica says "I like England". Harry Palmer says "England likes you".

Unfortunatelly, right now, There is no too much information in Web about her. There is a couple picture in E-bay with original signiture of her. I think, old Stop & Flair magazines published her some pictures in 1967 & 68 but there is no any available pictures about these in Web.

I've just curious, what happened to her, she must be 62 right now.
