I was born in Stockholm, Sweden and grew up in Hannover, Germany with my brother THOMAS who is like my best friend today. |
 |

I also have a horse, 2 Persian cats and 2 Chihuahuas. One of them is "Chichi" and came with me to America. In 1986 I became Miss Hanover and later placed second in the Miss Germany contest. I won a new car, and my picture was in all the German newspapers. A week later Playboy Germany called to see if I would like to be a Playmate. Because I had never been photographed nude before I was a little bit afraid, so they sent me copies of the magazine so my parents, my boyfriend and I could see that the photos were artistic and beautiful. Finally I said yes -- my marriage with Playboy began with me being Playboy Germany's Miss October 1986 |
| I started modeling
all over the world, in almost every country. In 1991 I went to a casting
call for a game show on Italian TV called Colpo GrossoI got the job and
became "la fragola" . So I moved to Milan to live and work for a year. |
 |
| It was a daily show, so I worked every day and became well-known in Italy because this show was so famous that it was every day twice on air. I was asked for autographs wherever I went. Wow - that was a great feeling! In between, the German TV came out to Milano to do exactly the same show . |
 |
So They just had to change the host . The german host was Hugo Egon Balder. After the one year in Milano, I went back to Germany and at this time the german TV start showing a varation of the italien show which was named nowTUTTI FRUTTI The show became also in Germany and in some other countries very famous, which means me too". We had 7 million people watching So, no wonder that Playboy Germany did another pictorial of me plus a cover. Around my time in Milano I also modeled for Gianni Versace. |
| I met Sylvester Stallone , who was in the area filming Cliffhanger. He invited me to the set which was in Cortina and 4 hours away by car from our studio in Milano. I had so much fun that I forgot the time and all of a sudden it was 8am and I had to be back by 9am . I paniced to loose my job, but he calm me down and just sent his helicopter to pick me up. I arrived on time on the roof of the TV-Studio, where the helicopter landed. I will never foget this day, because all day long I had to give interviews and had to answer all the questions from the other six CinCin girls, who wanted to know everything ind detail |  |
 |
I worked a lot and was seen in many commercials, on billboardsand in more than 300 newspapers and magazines.At the end of 1992 I did a modeling job for a German sportswear company. We shot in the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Las Vegas. When the job was complete I had some free time, so I went to Los Angeles for my very first time. I stayed a week and found an agency who sent me over to Playboy for a test shoot, and in the middle of the test, Photo Editor Marilyn Grabowski came in and said, "Congratulations, you are a Playmate." I became Miss May 1993, and my pictorial was published in 19 editions of Playboy worldwide in 5 continents. |
|
For a year I traveled between Germany and the U.S. I got a fourth pictorial and third cover with Playboy Germany and was invited onto all the German talk shows for being the first German Playmate in America After two years working in Los Angeles and Europe, I decided not to move back and forth anymore. My new home was now Los Angeles. |
 |
| I put all my energy into my acting and promptly got my first big speaking part on the "Sandblast" episode of Baywatch. After 2 years working on and off on the show I became a regular as a lifeguard, which you can read about in the October 1998 Playboy issue. That lasted for a year till Baywatch moved to Hawai. I still remember how much fun I had in every single episode. |
 |
I've also had roles on many other TV shows like Acapulco H.E.A.T., Jenny, VIP etc. and in a few movies like The Voice in Germany ,The Last Bachelor, Wayne's World2, Midnight Healing, Charlies Angels etc. and for sure a lot of videos, just to name the latest one which calls Playboy's EROTIC ADVENTURES, i played a witch. |
 Filmstudio Paramount Pictures , Wayne's World 2 |
| My passion for karate began when I auditioned for an Arnold Schwarzeneggar action movie in 1996. They were looking for a blonde, German actress who had martial arts experience. I decided to audition for the movie even though I did not have any martial arts experience. When they asked me if I could do karate, I emergency-lied and said yes, because I wanted the role so badly. When I came back for my second call back, they asked me to perform a Kata, which is the first thing you learn if you take karate. I had no idea what they were talking about and was pretty embarrassed to admit that I just made it up.For sure I did not got the part. |  |
| Soon later, I began studying
Karate-jutsu. I went and still go 5 times a week. It was so hard, but I
did not give up. I recently earned a black belt which you probably read
in the november issue of PLAYBOY 1999. Knowing self-defense is awesome.
I am not afraid of anyone anymore. Plus, it has helped me get a lot of actingjobs,
because I don't need a stund. I take also kickboxing. Now , I am a martial artist. Did you hear that, Arnold? |
Because I'm very athletic, I always get dangerous jobs. For a commercial for Yamaha personal watercraft, I was in hair and makeup for two hours. When I finally got on the WaveRunner and took off, in came a very high wave that knocked me upside down. We had to start all over, and then it happened again! We were able to laugh about that later. The commercial ran almost every day on U.S. sports TV. |

I do miss Germany, but I still
keep my house over there for my visit. In fact, my last trip there lasted
two months! My friend opened Germany's largest indoor go-cart racetrack
in Hanover. I raced on the track every day of my stay. That was a lot of fun. I love driving fast ... which reminds me of a funny story.... |
For my birthday last summer I bought myself a present -- a brand new blue VW beetle-bug. I couldn't wait to take it for a spin and see what it could do. In Germany I used to drive my BMW down the Autobahn as fast as I wanted -- there's no speed limit there. Unfortunately I found out the hard way that it is different in America. Just three days after I brought my new car home, I was pulled over on the LA freeway and got a ticket. This led to my first experience in traffic court. I never even got a chance to explain to the judge that I was just driving 110 mph so I could see how fast the Beetle could go. He fined me $1600, including penalties. Needless to say, I have been very careful on the road since In my free time, I hang out with my Chihuahuas |
