German actress Karin Heske was a glamorous starlet of the 1960s and early 1970s. The sexy blonde appeared in both leading and bit roles in two dozens of European comedies, Westerns and soft-sex films.
Unknown is when and where Karin Heske was actually born and if Karin Heske is also her birth name. IMDb and other sites offer only the titles of her films and TV-productions: a total of 24 between 1959 and 1976. And many glamorous and sexy photographs of her can be found on the net. Karin posed for Peter Basch for the November 1964 issue of Playboy magazine and probably in the same period, she posed for the lense of the legendary pin-up photographer Bernard of Hollywood (aka Bruno Bernard). She started her film career with a supporting part in the comedy Paradies der Matrosen/Paradise for Sailors (Harald Reinl, 1959) with Margit Saad and Boy Gobert. In the following years, she appeared as one of the seven gorgeous girls on vacation in Die Insel der Amazonen/Seven Daring Girls (Otto Meyer, 1960) with Adrian Hoven, and she was billed second after Ingrid Andree in Nachts ging das Telefon/The Phone Rings Every Night (Géza von Cziffra, 1962). During the 1960s, she continued to play supporting and small parts in forgettable comedies like Mit besten Empfehlungen/With Best Regards (Kurt Nachmann, 1963) with Georg Thomalla, Wenn man baden geht auf Teneriffa/When You Go Swimming at Tenerife (Helmuth M. Backhaus, 1964) with Peter Kraus, and Unser Doktor ist der Beste/Our Doctor is the Best (Harald Vock, 1969), a vehicle for Schlager star Roy Black.
Karin Heske was quite busy during the soft-sex-comedy-wave that hit the German cinema in the early 1970s. Her first entry in this genre was a leading part in Wer weint denn schon im Freudenhaus?/He’s at it again (Rudolf Lubowski, 1970) about a brothel. Other (stereo)typical examples were Krankenschwestern-Report/Nurses Report (Walter Boos, 1972) and Matratzen-Tango/ Secrets of Naked Girls (Eberhard Schröder, 1973). During this period she also appeared regularly on TV. She could be seen in such Krimis as Dem Täter auf der Spur/On the Track of the Suspect (1970) and Percy Stuart (1970) with Claus Wilcke, and she played Toulouse Lautrec’s model in the operetta Der Opernball/The Opera Ball (Eugen York, 1971). Heske had the lead in the Sex-Western Ein langer Ritt nach Eden/A Long Ride to Eden (Günter Hendel, 1974), co-starring with the later TV-star Ingrid Steeger. On IMDb, reviewer Stefan Kahrs calls the film “An incredibly bad piece of trash. (...) We are talking bottom drawer stuff here, of a hundred-drawer cabinet, rivaling anything Edward Wood Jr., A.C. Stephen and Demofilo Fidani ever made.” It was followed by another Euro-Western, Dallas/Ten Killers Came from Afar (Juan Bosch, 1975) with Anthony Steffen. Another IMDb-reviewer, Michael Wotruba, calls it “A Real Timewaster”. Karin Heske was last seen before the cameras in two episodes of the popular Krimi TV-series Derrick (1975-1976). We couldn’t find more information about her on internet.
