Elke Jeinsen Bio
Elke Jeinsen is a German glamour model, actress, and personal trainer. Born Elke Erika Weintrab Jeinsen on July 25, 1966, in Hanover, Germany, she has also been credited as Erika Weintraub. Playboy named her its May 1993 Playmate at 26. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1990s print era, a period increasingly shaped by entertainment and celebrity culture.
Jeinsen has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-24-34.
Elke Jeinsen is the rare kind of beauty that captivates across borders - and Playboy fans around the world know it. The blonde bombshell from Germany, first captured hearts as Miss October 1986 in Playboy Germany before making history as the first German Playmate to grace the pages of the American edition in May 1993. Her iconic centerfold, shot by the legendary Arny Freytag, was just the beginning of a dazzling international modeling career.
Born in Sweden, Elke moved to Hannover with her family as a toddler and grew up alongside her brother Thomas. By her late teens, she was already a pageant star-runner-up in the 1986 Miss Germany contest and winner of the Miss Hannover title. It didn't take long before her striking looks caught the attention of photographers, stylists, and directors around the globe.
Her resume reads like a global passport: Elke has modeled in nearly every country, been featured in over 300 newspapers and magazines, and appeared in numerous TV commercials. She spent a vibrant year in Milan, where she gained national attention in Italy as a "Cin-Cin Girl" on the hit game show Colpo Grosso.
Back in the U.S., Elke became a recurring beauty on "Baywatch", flashing across screens as a lifeguard, beach girl, or barely-dressed onlooker. Her film appearances include blink-and-you'll-miss-it roles in "Wayne's World 2," "Charlie's Angels," "Crocodile Dundee in L.A.," and "Rock Star." She even lent her allure to Joe Cocker's steamy "Night Call" music video.
Elke's Playboy legacy is nothing short of monumental. With appearances in 19 international editions, numerous Playboy videos, and special editions, she's one of the magazine's most published faces. She's since taken her career in bold new directions, including fetish-themed videos and softcore roles like "Every Man's Fantasy 2," showcasing a fearless evolution beyond mainstream modeling.
A black belt in karate and a resident of Los Angeles, Elke Jeinsen is much more than a global sex symbol. She's a woman who's moved through decades of fame, fashion, and film with elegance, daring, and the kind of charisma only a true Playmate can possess.
