Sirpa Lane, born Sirpa Salo (1952–1999) was a Finnish actress known for her work in B-movies of the 1970s, primarily erotic and exploitation films. Lane was discovered by British photographer and film-maker David Hamilton, who was known for his soft focus and grainy style erotica. She worked with Roger Vadim, who spoke of her as the "next Bardot" (perhaps not without reason). She died of HIV/AIDS.[1]
