Susan Kodicek (born Zuzana Oprsalova; 25 September 1947 - 11 April 2011), also known as Hannah Kodicek, was a Czechoslovakian actress active during the period 1977-90.[1] Her most prominent role was as Irina in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.[2] She went on to work in children's entertainment in Britain, including children's puppet performances such as Pullover (1982), television programmes, and a website. She wrote a book on theatre for children in 1977.[3]

In 1994, Kodicek wrote and directed the film A Pin for the Butterfly, starring Hugh Laurie and Joan Plowright. The film was inspired by her memories of growing up in Stalinist Czechoslovakia.[4]
