Ingeborg Sorensen Bio
Ingeborg Sorensen is a Norwegian glamour model, beauty pageant titleholder, and actress. She was born on May 16, 1948, in Drammen, Norway. Playboy named her its March 1975 Playmate at 26. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Sorensen has enhanced breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 36-24-35.
Her signature centerfold was captured by Mario Casilli, the glossy-era portraitist whose lighting and polish framed many of the decade’s most circulated images. That polished photographic moment only hints at the route Sorensen took to an international stage: she arrived with a pageant résumé that included a semi-final finish at the 1969 Miss International contest in Tokyo and, notably, competing as Miss Norway in 1972 where she placed first runner-up at the Miss World competition.
Those pageant years led naturally to work abroad. In 1972 she joined Bob Hope’s USO tour, traveling to stops as far-flung as Alaska, Japan, Thailand, South Vietnam, Diego Garcia and Guam and appearing alongside performers such as Redd Foxx, Lola Falana and Dolores Hope. Contemporary press and tour listings treated her as part of a traveling entertainment troupe that mixed variety, publicity and goodwill in often difficult settings.
Sorensen also moved in front of the camera for screen work. Her on-screen credits include appearances in films such as Top of the Heap and Kramer vs. Kramer, and a guest turn on the television series Baretta, evidence of a small but tangible crossover from modeling and live performance into film and TV work during the same era.
Taken together, the pieces of Sorensen’s public life—pageant podiums, international touring and modest screen appearances—describe a 1970s professional arc that reached beyond a single pictorial. The career reads less like a straight line than a series of international engagements that kept her visible to audiences on stage, in print and on screen.
