Lottie Gunthart is an Austrian-born Penthouse model, glamour model, and actress, born on October 23, 1948 in Vienna, Austria.
Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared as Christiene Bergson, Florence Maurie or Florence Fossorrier.
Lottie Gunthart was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in March 1971, stepping into the spotlight at 22 years old. With her statuesque 36-23-36 figure, charming brown eyes, honey blond hair, and natural breasts, Lottie exudes a confident sensuality that feels effortless, natural, and undeniably captivating.
Photographed by James Baes, the eighteen-year-old Viennese beauty represented a new generation of European women who saw creativity and personal freedom as inseparable. Raised near the dramatic landscapes of the Austrian Alps, Lottie often credited the mountain air and sweeping views with shaping her outlook on life. To her, growing up surrounded by such natural perfection made it impossible to accept ordinary or predictable ways of thinking.
Her rebellious streak first revealed itself during her school years. When encouraged to pursue practical studies such as business, Lottie instead enrolled in art school, eager to explore the world through color, form, and imagination. Even there she resisted the traditional expectations placed upon young artists. Rather than imitate classical techniques or realistic drawing, she preferred abstract expressions that attempted to capture emotion and movement rather than mere physical likeness. Teachers initially found her approach unconventional, but over time they came to recognize the originality behind her work, eventually allowing her to develop her own distinctive artistic style.
Lottie’s creative independence soon extended beyond the studio. She developed a reputation in Vienna’s artistic circles as someone who refused to follow trends or adopt the labels others tried to place on her. Whether discussing painting, fashion, or everyday life, she insisted on discovering her own answers through experience rather than imitation. For Lottie, art was not something confined to galleries or canvases—it was a way of living, a constant dialogue between herself and the world around her.
That same curiosity led her to embrace modeling as another form of artistic expression. She viewed photography not merely as a static image but as a conversation between subject and viewer, a way to communicate personality and presence beyond words. By appearing in Penthouse, Lottie hoped to create that connection on a larger scale, inviting people everywhere to see her not simply as a picture on a page, but as a real young woman exploring creativity, identity, and freedom in her own unmistakable way.
