Neola Graef, a stunning 5 foot 2 inch blonde bombshell, with piercing blue eyes, made a striking impression. Her early life was marked by a youthful marriage, followed by a career shift from sales to modeling, driven by the lucrative nature of the profession. In fact, she earned more in just one hour of modeling than she did in an entire week as a salesgirl. After completing two years of studies in drama and the arts in college, Graef embarked on a highly successful modeling career, which eventually transitioned into a career in sexploitation films. Over the course of her career, she appeared in more than 200 short and feature-length movies, often collaborating with her friend Uschi Digard in both 16mm and 35mm formats.
While the number of feature films in which Graef received screen credit is relatively small, it is possible that she deliberately limited her appearances in this type of film. Regardless, she did join the Screen Actors Guild and later secured small roles in mainstream feature films. Throughout her career, Graef maintained a relationship with photographer and director William Rotsler. Ultimately, she retired from the industry in 1972, bringing an end to her brief but illustrious movie career.
