One of the two blond sex kittens of the sixties Estonian cinema (the other being Eve Kivi), she was not only glamorous to look at, but also an immensely talented actress. However, she seemed to lack the determination to become a superstar, and unlike Eve Kivi, who clawed her way to the very top of the Socialist cinema ladder, Miss Lundver seemed to enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, which makes her acting style very pleasant and modern. Often cast as a tart with a hear of gold, she had ample opportunity to show off her gorgeous décolletage. Her many relationships with her leading men, her drinking problem and several abortions about which she bravely spoke on a talk show when faced with the question unexpectedly, always gave the public something to talk about. She made about a dozen films in her heyday, many of these TV productions (including the first ever Estonian TV serial The Outlaws, which was banned for almost twenty years during the Soviet regime). She was also a sought after cabaret performer and toured with troupes around the Socialist world. Sadly her looks faded away in the seventies and she all but disappeared from the big screen. A woman with great sense of humor and great appetite for life, she has enriched the Estonian cinema with magical moments. It is sad that because of the iron curtain international stardom eluded her. Her looks and her talent would have made her a great star.
