She was born in 1916 as the eldest son of the Baltic German conservative aristocrat, von Meindorf. She came to Barlin to work at Barlin Studios, and as a blonde young woman of beauty, she was the perfect star of Alfred Hitchcock films. In 1936, she appeared in her first cinematic work, followed by several films. She did not appear as a star, until she starred in The Great Sacrifice (1944). After the war, she participated in small roles in some German films. In 1961, she met British actor James Robertson Justice, with whom she worked in her last three films. She fell in love with Robertson, so she left her third husband, German journalist Pete Severin. She also left her career, and moved to England, lived with him, and worked as a teacher in a local language school. She obtained British citizenship in 1967 and changed her name to Irina. When James Robertson suffered several financial shocks and was about to get broke, she returned to work in 1968 and presented the movie Mayerling (1968) with Omar Sharif. Robertson suffered several strokes and was hospitalized. After living with him for 14 years, she married him on his deathbed in 1975. 15 years after the death of her husband, she married her late husband's friend, the millionaire Frederick Keith, with whom she remained until her death.
