Olga Schoberová was born on March 15, 1943, in Prague, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Both of her parents were clerks. She graduated from the High School of Economics.
After graduation Schoberová worked as a clerk at the Technomat. Her older sister Eva was a model. Since Eva was quite busy as a model, Eva once sent Olga, who looked very similar to her, to a modeling job. Olga then started shooting commercials. A Pilsner beer poster with 20-year-old Olga attracted the attention of director Antonín Kachlík, who cast her in the movie “We Were Ten” in 1963. Soon after she was cast in many popular Czech movies, including the western “Lemonade Joe” where she sang “Arizona, Where All the Good Men Come From”.
In 1964, Schoberová appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine, photographed by Herman Leonard. In 1969, Schoberová appeared in Playboy again, this time in the pictorial, Sex Stars of 1969. Schoberová appeared with her future husband Brad Harris in “The Secret of the Chinese Carnation”, (1964), and “Massacre at Marble City” (1964). The two were married from 1967-1969). Later she married producer, actor John Calley in 1972 she essentially retired from acting to raise her daughter Sabrina from her marriage to Brad Harrris born in 1968 whom Calley adopted. She only returned to films in 1977 in “Dinner for Adele” and again in 1984 in “Vrak”.
Today Olga lives in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
