Majken Haugedal Bio
Majken Haugedal is a Danish glamour and nude model. She was born Majken Kruse on March 26, 1947, in Copenhagen, Denmark. Playboy named her its October 1968 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.
Haugedal has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-22-34.
Photographed by the masterful Pompeo Posar, Majken's centerfold captured a vision of timeless beauty - the kind that could launch a thousand daydreams.
Hailing from Denmark, Majken's blend of Nordic cool and sultry warmth made her an instant standout among Playboy's international beauties. Her natural poise and delicate charm caught the eye of the magazine's editors, placing her among the front-runners for the coveted Playmate of the Year 1969 title. Though the honor ultimately went to Connie Kreski, Posar himself once mused that choosing between Majken and Connie was no easy task - both women epitomized the fresh, alluring spirit of the late '60s.
After her unforgettable debut, Majken stepped out of the spotlight for a time, leaving behind whispers of the beauty who might have been Playmate of the Year. But she proved that beauty only grows sweeter with time when she returned to the magazine in April 1984 for the special pictorial "Playmates Forever! Part Two" - showing that the Danish delight still possessed the magic that had made her unforgettable.
Whether frozen in time on the pages of Playboy or turning heads years later, Majken Haugedal remains a shimmering testament to the magazine's golden era - proof that some beauties, like fine champagne, only get better with age.
