Neda Arnerić (July 15, 1953 – January 10, 2020) was a prominent Serbian actress who left a significant mark on Yugoslav cinema, often celebrated as a sex symbol of her era.

Born in Knjaževac, Neda was the daughter of an ethnic Croat military doctor from the island of Korčula. Her family roots extended to Rovinj, where she spent many summers during her childhood. In 1980, she earned a degree in Art History from the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Philosophy, setting the stage for her illustrious career in the performing arts.

Neda's acting career began to flourish in the late 1970s and 1980s, with her captivating performances earning her widespread recognition. She married Serbian physician Milorad Mešterović in 1981, and the couple remained together until his passing in December 2018. Despite their deep bond, they did not have children.

In February 2019, Neda faced a health crisis when her brother Predrag discovered her unconscious. After spending 40 days at the Military Medical Academy in Belgrade, she continued to struggle with her health. Tragically, on January 10, 2020, Neda was found deceased in her home in Belgrade at the age of 66. Her legacy endures through her contributions to film and the impact she had on the cultural landscape of Yugoslavia.
