Laurette Marcia "Laura" Gemser (born October 5, 1950, Java, Indonesia) is a Dutch-based actress of Indo descent. She is known for her work with director Joe D'Amato and Bruno Mattei, in particular, for doing a set of exploitation-style and Black Emmanuelle films. Gemser has also been credited as Moira Chen, most notably in Love Is Forever (1983).

Gemser left Indonesia in 1955, at the age of four, and moved with her parents to the Netherlands. She grew up in the Dutch city of Utrecht, where she attended the MULO Regentesseschool high school. After that, she attended the Artibus Art School in Utrecht, where she specialized in fashion design. In 1975 she moved to Italy.

After modelling in various magazines in the Netherlands and Belgium, Gemser began to take part in some soft erotic films. She became internationally recognised after starring in a number of Black Emanuelle films in the 1970s.

Her most mainstream and well-received role was as Laotian refugee Keo Sirisomphone in Michael Landon's 1983 American television movie, Love Is Forever, in which she was credited as Moira Chen.[citation needed] Gemser continued to do films: at times, she worked with her actor husband, Gabriele Tinti. In the 1990s, she left the movies to do costume designing for film. In addition, she lost her husband, who died of cancer in 1991. Today she lives in retirement and low profile in Rome, but she is still remembered as one of the many beautiful women who played the sensual adventuress Emmanuelle.

Sylvia Kristel (1952–2012) was a Dutch actress, model, and singer who became an international icon of 1970s cinema. She achieved worldwide fame as the star of the 1974 French film Emmanuelle, which remains one of the most successful erotic movies in history.

Born in Utrecht, Netherlands, Kristel began her career as a model and won the "Miss TV Europe" contest in 1973. Shortly after, she was cast by director Just Jaeckin for the lead role in Emmanuelle. The film's massive success led her to reprise the role in several sequels throughout the 1970s and 80s, cementing her status as a symbol of the "sexual revolution" in mainstream media.

Beyond the Emmanuelle franchise, Kristel sought to diversify her career by working with acclaimed directors such as Claude Chabrol in Alice or the Last Escapade (1977) and starring in international productions like Lady Chatterley's Lover (1981) and Private Lessons (1981). Despite her efforts to transition into more traditional dramatic roles, she remained closely associated with the erotic genre that made her famous.

Her personal life was often marked by turbulence, including high-profile relationships - most notably with Belgian author Hugo Claus - and long-term struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, which she candidly detailed in her 2006 autobiography, Nue (Undressed). Sylvia Kristel passed away in October 2012 at the age of 60 after a battle with cancer.
