Olinka Hardiman, born Olinka Richter on January 16, 1960, in Ostrava, Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic), is a retired French adult film star and model. Famous for her uncanny resemblance to Marilyn Monroe, she frequently portrayed the icon in erotic parodies like Marilyn, mon amour (1985), Inside Olinka (aka Inside Marilyn), and Le retour de Marilyn (1986). Rising to fame in the early 1980s, Hardiman starred in dozens of hardcore films across Europe and the US, collaborating with director Michel Lemoine on classics such as Neiges brûlantes (1982), Dans la chaleur de St-Tropez (1982), and L'été les petites culottes s'envolent (1984).

She also ventured into mainstream cinema, appearing in Marco Ferreri's I Love You (1986) and Sergio Bergonzelli's Delirio di sangue (1988). Known under aliases like Marilyn Lamour and Olivia Link, she embodied Emmanuelle in Emmanuelle in Cannes (1980). Her leggy, blonde allure made her an international sensation before retiring in the late 1980s.
