Anna Ilona Staller

Early life
Anna Ilona was born in Budapest, Hungary. Her biological father, László Staller left the family when she was just a girl, and then she was raised by her stepfather, who was an official in the Hungarian Ministry of the Interior, and her mother, a midwife. In 1964 she began working for a Hungarian modeling agency, M.T.I. In her memoirs and in a 1999 TV interview, she claimed that she had provided Hungarian authorities with information on American diplomats staying at a Budapest luxury hotel where she worked as a maid in the late 1960s.
