Susan Denberg (born August 2 1944), a German-born Austrian chorus dancer. She was chosen as Playboy's Playmate of the Month in August 1966. Her centerfold was photographed by Peter Gowland. She also was one of the finalists for the title of 1967's Playmate of the Year along with Tish Howard and the eventual winner, Lisa Baker.
Susan was 21 when she became a Playmate.
One of her few acting roles was that of Magda Kovacs in the Star Trek episode "Mudd's Women". In 1965, Denberg landed a co-starring role as a German girl on the ABC war drama series 12 O'Clock High. Her fellow TOS guest star 'Frank Overton was a regular on this series.
The following year, Susan Denberg made her feature film debut with a supporting role in the drama An American Dream. While working on this film, Warner Bros. held a contest to find Susan a new screen name, offering a $500 award to whoever came up with the best one, but all of the entries were ultimately rejected.
Denberg was featured Playmate of the Month for Playboy magazine's August 1966 issue. In her profile, Denberg stated that she had ambitions to become an actress. Denberg was later one of the finalists for the title of 1967's Playmate of the Year, though the title ultimately went to Lisa Baker.
Denberg's most famous acting role outside of Star Trek was in Hammer Film's cult 1967 science fiction/horror film Frankenstein Created Woman, opposite Peter Cushing. However, Denberg's voice in the film was dubbed as her Austrian accent was considered too strong.
After Frankenstein Created Woman, Denberg returned to Austria.
She was married to Tony Scotti (1965–1968) (divorced).
