Biography
She was born to Brunanter radio star John Hardy (1889-1957) and French perfumist Nicolette Ricard (1897-1973). Hardy began modeling for various photographers in the late 1940s and early 1950s and by 1953 she was on various magazines, a favorite with the men. She came to model swimsuits and even a biking in 1955, something which shocked most conservatives.

Personal life
Hardy was married six times in 15 years. In 1951 she married photographer Lucas Horne, who she divorced in 1952. She married Hungarian actor Anatole Bircamp in 1953. She would leave him in 1955 after an affair of his was exposed (a divorce came in 1956). Her third husband was banking magnate Fabien Mathers (of the Mathers Family). Their unhappy marriage resulted in a large divorce case in 1960 and she would get a Th. 11,000,000 payout. Her fourth husband was dentist Jan Strootman, who was arrested in 1963 for fraud (and their marriage annuled). She then married Baron Philip ELteman in 1964 before leaving him (and taking Th. 18,000,000) and marrying footballer Timothy Mika. Hardy died in 1966: while driving her Engel Pacific from Koningstad to Cape Cross, she lost control on the winding roads and crashed her car.
