Kristina Hanzalová nació el 3 de octubre de 1949 en Vranov, Czechoslovakia [ahora Slovakia]. Es una actriz, conocida por Nahota (1970) y Miss Universe 1970 (1970).
After participating in the Miss Universe 1970 (1970), Hanzalová requested political asylum in Germany. This led to the Czechoslovakian government banning all new beauty contests in the country as well as international competitions, only returning to the world stage in 1989.
