Acting

Marlies Dräger

Marlies Dräger's creative journey began in a familial environment steeped in fashion, as her mother operated a fashion salon. Initially, Dräger pursued a career as an accountant before transitioning into modeling, where she gained attention for her topless photographs featured in the men's magazine Privat9. In the mid-1960s, she decided to delve into acting, enrolling in lessons in Göttingen. This led to her first on-screen opportunities under the direction of Georg Tressler in the series *Wenn die Musik nicht*.

During the filming in 1966, Dräger crossed paths with fellow actor Michael Maien, and the two shared a brief romance. Later that year, she began a significant relationship with Jürgen Roloff, a wood dealer from Göttingen.

Marlies reached a notable milestone in May 1970 when she graced the cover of the television magazine *Hörzu*. Her film and television career spanned until the mid-1970s, during which she made appearances in various productions. Noteworthy performances include her role in the Jerry Cotton film *Dynamit in grüner Seide*, where her voice was provided by Traudel Haas, and in the Edgar Wallace thriller *The Man with the Glass Eye*. Her final acting credits were in two episodes of the 26-part series *Kara Ben Nemsi Effendi*, adapted from Karl May's works. After her last appearances, Dräger's artistic endeavors came to a halt, and little is known of her activities beyond that point.
