Marina Orschel (born July 14, 1937) is a German actress and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Germany 1955 and represented her country at Miss Universe 1955 where she placed 1st Runner-Up. At first her measurements were announced as 36-22-34 inches (91-56-86 cm), but she handed a measuring tape to Miss England and corrected them to 40-27-34 inches (102–69–86 cm).[1][2] Following these successes, she, Ingrid Goude, and Carol Morris were offered contracts by Universal Pictures, though Orschel's screen appearances are mainly in German films.[3]
