Brigitte Streubel

By the time she was nineteen she had already worked for a year as a photo-model in Düsseldorf, featured in various publications including the mass-circulation Brigitte junior.

In 1969, accepting an invitation from a major Paris agency turned out to be the launch-pad for a career as an international photo-model,[2] working between 1969 and 1976 in Milan, Rome and London.

The three of them teamed up in 1976 with the photographer Anna Werner and the thespian polymath Jutta Winkelmann to establish an "experimental living community" in Munich - in many respects a small commune of their own - which became known as The Harem and received significant levels of media attention over the years.

[3] In 1978 she appeared a "Eva" in Uschi Reich's television drama "Keiner kann was dafür" (loosely "No one can do anything about it"), also doubling up as the costume designer for the production.

She also provided contributions to a book produced by Bärbel Schäfer and Monika Schuck entitled "Das Glücksgeheimnis: Paare erzählen vom Gelingen ihrer Liebe" ("The secret of happiness: Couples on their successes in love").
