Eva Henger
Where you’ve seen her:
This former Miss Hungary is already a big star in Italy, stealing scenes in such art-house favorites as Anal Delights and Sins of the Throat, while also carving herself a nice little career as a comic actress—starring on two sketch-comedy shows on Italian TV. In between she’s appeared in mainstream movies in her adopted home. Eva’s now ready to conquer America with a small role in the anxiously awaited musical comedy Gangs of New York.
Gangs of Nude York:
“In [Gangs of New York] I play a madam. They wanted someone who could play this role that involved a lot of nudity. And I said, ‘I want to do it. I don’t really have a problem playing erotic parts.’”
Cliff-henger:
“This one time a lunatic stalked me for two years. He wasn’t even that ugly. He was young but out of his mind. I’d call the police, and they wouldn’t do anything, because they said he wasn’t breaking any laws. So I decided to take more ‘radical’ measures to get rid of him.”
Naked chef?
“I think it’s true that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but I have other methods. [laughs] I can’t say what they are, but they’re a little more unorthodox than baking—if you know what I mean.”
