"Katya Berger's path to fame in show business was clear from the outset, given that her mother is Croatian singer and actress Hanja Kochansky. Her Austrian stepfather, William Berger, had also made his mark on Spaghetti Westerns. Thus, young Katya set her sights on cinematic stardom.

In 1978, she made her film debut in the Spanish-Italian drama 'Historia de Eva' (also known as 'Piccole labbra'). However, it wasn't until several years later that American audiences got a chance to appreciate her assets in 'Tales of Ordinary Madness' (1983), an adaptation of Charles Bukowski's works. In this film, Katya bares all in a steamy beach scene with Ben Gazzara.

Katya continued to heat up the screen with her risqué roles. She flashed her flesh in the BDSM horror flick 'Rosso sangue' (1981), and played a Parisian prostitute in the period piece 'Nana' (1982). Known as 'Nana, la vera chiave del piacere' in Italian, this film features Katya revealing all during various intimate scenes.

Despite the risks of overexposure, Katya went full frontal in the French-Italian drama 'The Moon in the Gutter' (1983), playing a lifeless body that even Gérard Depardieu can't resist feeling up."
