Soledad Rendón Bueno (9 July 1943 – 18 August 1970), better known by her stage names Soledad Miranda or Susann Korda (or sometimes Susan Korday), was a Spanish actress and singer. She starred in several films directed by cult filmmaker Jess Franco, such as Count Dracula (1970), Vampyros Lesbos (1970), and She Killed in Ecstasy (1971). She also released numerous Spanish-language pop songs throughout the mid-sixties.

Miranda died in a car accident on a Lisbon highway in August 1970: she was aged 27. She was just about to sign a film contract with Franco's producer, Karl Heinz Mannchen.[1]
