Description
A remarkable memoir
Model, actress and writer Anika Pavel left communist Czechoslovakia during the Prague Spring at the age of 18 to be an au pair in England. Unable to return home after the brutal Soviet crackdown, Anika, now a refugee, went from sleeping in phone booths to becoming a model, which led her to acting on TV and movies and even becoming Bond Girl.
The true story of an 18-year-old girl who arrived in London from behind the iron curtain for the first time… alone.
Anika Pavel went from being an au pair, to a fashion model, to a playboy bunny, to an actress, and from London to Hong Kong, to USA in a full and wonderful life encompassing rock n roll, new business ventures, a family and everything in between.
