Ulrika Ericsson Bio
Ulrika Ericsson is a Swedish glamour model, swimwear model, and actress. She was born Anna Ulrika Eriksson on September 10, 1970, in Gavle, Sweden. Playboy named her its November 1996 Playmate at 26. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1990s print era, a period increasingly shaped by entertainment and celebrity culture.
Ericsson has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-25-35.
Ericsson grew up in a household of practical professions: a father who worked as a paramedic and a mother who ran a daycare, and an uncle, Willy Lindström, who played professional ice hockey in North America. As a child she travelled across the continent with her family, a peripatetic upbringing that acquainted her early with different sights and workaday cultures rather than with celebrity life.
Her path into commercial modeling came through athletic swimwear and sportswear work. By the time she began booking editorial shoots she was already known for images that emphasized movement and fitness as much as form—runway and beach work that demanded stamina as well as the camera-friendly line of traditional glamour photography.
Her Playboy pictorial was photographed by Arny Freytag and Stephen Wayda and leaned into visual cues from her Scandinavian background, including nods to Norse imagery. She went on to appear in several Playboy video releases and in a number of the magazine’s newsstand special editions, contributions that kept her in the company’s orbit beyond a single centerfold.
Off camera she described a disciplined fitness regimen—skating, squash, weight work and regular outdoor exercise with her dog, Casper—and an appetite for books, music, animals and Norse mythology. At the time of her feature she was living in Fort Lauderdale and spoke of an eventual move toward quieter pursuits: a rural property with horses and dogs and the idea of writing.
