Carina Persson Bio
Carina Persson is a Swedish actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on June 14, 1958, in Stockholm, Sweden. Playboy named her its August 1983 Playmate at 25. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.
Persson has natural breasts, blue eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-24-35.
Her centerfold was photographed by Ken Marcus, a detail that places her work squarely within the high‑gloss portraiture of the era. The images from that shoot leaned into studio polish and immaculate lighting rather than coy informality, a sensibility that suited Persson’s cool, composed camera presence and made the pictures easy to slot into Playboy’s Special Editions and video features that circulated after the initial spread.
Persson kept a steady presence in the magazine’s ancillary output, appearing in later photo packages and filmed segments that extended her visibility beyond the single centerfold. Those companion pieces traded on the same cinematic framing as the original shoot, favoring controlled poses and a wardrobe of classic glamour rather than the rougher, documentary modes of other contemporary outlets.
She also tried a toe in Hollywood. Persson appears on screen in a small, walk‑on capacity in the 1985 cult film Into the Night, a blink‑and‑you’ll‑miss‑it credit that nevertheless put her briefly alongside recognizable names from downtown cinema of the period. Credits of that sort were common for models of the time: brief film spots, commercials and background work that kept performers working on both sides of the camera.
Outside the pages and the sets, Persson’s life moved westward. She relocated to the United States, entered a long‑term relationship with Kenneth Priest of Colorado and later became an American citizen. That turn—professional work in glossy print and modest screen appearances, followed by a settled personal life abroad—frames a career that moved easily between the posed worlds of magazine photography and the incidental realities of show business.
