Carina Ragnarsson Bio

November 28, 1967 - June 18, 2005 / Sagittarius / Age 37

Carina Ragnarsson was a Swedish-born Penthouse model, nude model, and actress, born Emanuel Johansson on November 28, 1967 in Boras, Sweden.

Carina Ragnarsson was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in November 1985, stepping into the spotlight at just 17 years old. With her statuesque 36-25-36 figure, seductive blue eyes, honey blond hair, and natural breasts, Carina brings bright, youthful energy to the spotlight, blending innocence with a bold, emerging sensuality.

Carina Ragnarsson swept into Penthouse with the cool confidence of a woman who knows exactly where she’s headed. Photographed by Hank Londoner, the Swedish beauty carried both Nordic elegance and a streak of headstrong fire. Tall, luminous, and unmistakably poised, she embodied a blend of softness and steel that made every frame feel alive.

A self-described thrill-seeker, Carina loved speed — whether riding her old Triumph chopper through open roads or diving headfirst into new creative pursuits. Yet she balanced that daring side with discipline. From designing doll clothes as a child to working as a designer’s assistant after high school, her ambition steadily evolved toward a future in fashion, with dreams of studying at Parsons School of Design in New York. She kept both mind and body sharp, working out rigorously and devouring books whenever time allowed.

Despite her adventurous streak, Carina possessed a gentle, romantic core. She valued depth over distraction, preferring meaningful connection to fleeting excitement. In love, she believed in giving generously and completely, seeing passion as something to be nurtured rather than merely chased.

Though she admitted to a touch of shyness about appearing in Penthouse, her pictorial revealed a woman far more confident than reserved — radiant, natural, and effortlessly sensual. For readers, Carina Ragnarsson represented the international allure of the mid-’80s: bold yet refined, independent yet romantic, a Scandinavian beauty who proved that true style — and true desire — never needs embellishment.
