  • Marina Hedman Bellis, also known as Marina Frajese and Marina Lotar is a Swedish former porn star and model. Hedman used to live in Sweden where she worked as a model and stewardess. In the late 1960s she married RAI reporter Paolo Frajese and settled in Italy. The couple had a son named Paolo Attilio and a daughter named Liselotte. Hedman saw her marriage with Frajese as an obstacle to her future aspirations and they divorced in 1975. The following year she made her film debut with a small uncredited role in Lucio Fulci's sex comedy La pretora (My Sister In Law), starring Edwige Fenech. Later in 1976, she was discovered by Joe d'Amato and played a minor role in his Emanuelle in America (appearing in her first hardcore scene). In 1978, she won the Lady Europa contest and started to grow her publicity through her appearance in RAI show Carosello and posing for Playboy magazine. In 1979, she played a major role in Immagini di un convento ("Dreams in a Convent"), again by d'Amato (who she would continue to work with on many films), an indelicate adaptation of La Religieuse. Throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hedman would juggle between supporting roles in serious films such as Primo Amore (1978) for Dino Risi and La città delle donne (City of Women) (1980) for Federico Fellini; and leading roles in a pornographic films. With La zia svedese (The Swedish Aunt) (1980) by Mario Siciliano, she had the opportunity to fully display her sexual potential with the role of a beautiful but mature aunt who seduces her nephew. In the 1980s, with the attraction of the flourishing industry, she decided to appear only in pornographic films. Standing 176 cm tall and with her blue eyes, she became a favourite of porn viewers. 1984 and 1985 were the most prolific years for her, playing in films named after her, such as Marina e la sua bestia (Marina and her beast). She also played opposite John Holmes in his final film, The Devil in Mr. Holmes (1987), and took part in pornographic films depicting actual or simulated bestiality such as L'Amore e la bestia (The love and the beast) by Roberto Bianchi Montero (1986). She was also renowned for her eager participation in double penetration and facial scenes, at a time when these sexual acts were far from being mainstream pornographic conventions. She appeared in her last film in 1991 and eventually retired from public life.
  • Inizialmente, infatti, utilizzò proprio il nome di Marina Frajese, poi, dopo una causa civile intentatale dall'ex-marito, assunse lo pseudonimo di Marina Lotar o Marina Lothar ed anche Marina Chantal. Fino al 1984 alterna la sua presenza fra il cinema per tutti ed il cinema per adulti, poi si dedica completamente al cinema porno fino al 1991, quando si ritira dalle scene. Gira film sia in Italia che in Francia, recitando con i maggiori attori del settore tra cui un giovanissimo Rocco Siffredi e nel 1987 è nell'ultimo film accreditato di John Holmes, Supermaschio per mogli viziose girato a Roma. Un titolo rimasto famoso è Marina e la sua bestia (1984, diretto da Renato Polselli) dove la si vede "mimare" atti di zoofilia (in realtà utilizzando una protesi in plastica). Nell'unica intervista mai rilasciata (nel 1981 per L'Europeo), disse di aver scelto il porno dove, almeno, il produttore non le chiedeva di andare a letto con lui per ottenere la parte. La Hedman ha recitato anche in film di ottima levatura come Primo amore di Dino Risi nel 1978 e La città delle donne di Federico Fellini. Nel 2008 ha rifiutato l'offerta di comparire in una puntata di una nota fiction televisiva, Carabinieri, ribadendo ancora una volta di aver abbandonato definitivamente la scena pubblica.
