Sharon Johansen Bio
Sharon Johansen is a Norwegian actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on October 11, 1948, in Oslo, Norway. Playboy named her its October 1972 Playmate at 23. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Johansen has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 40-22-37.
Sharon Johansen brought Scandinavian beauty and Midwestern charm to Playboy in October 1972. Her centerfold, photographed by Alexas Urba, captured her radiant allure, and she returned to the magazine for the "Playmates Forever!" pictorial in December 1979.
Sharon moved to Wisconsin with her family when she was just a year old. Before her Playboy days, she worked as a receptionist for White House press secretary Pierre Salinger and later as a dog trainer-including caring for Hugh Hefner's beloved sheepdog, Dog. But it was her aspirations for modeling and acting that ultimately led her to Playboy and a brief Hollywood career.
Following her Playmate appearance, Sharon landed guest roles on hit TV shows like "Columbo", "Barnaby Jones", "Love, American Style", "Flying High", and "Charlie's Angels". She also had small roles in the films "Your Three Minutes Are Up" and Steve Martin's classic comedy "The Jerk". Whether gracing the pages of Playboy or the screens of television and film, Sharon Johansen left a lasting impression as a Playmate who blended beauty, ambition, and a touch of Hollywood glamour.
