February 15, 1967 / Aquarius / Age 59
Linda Johansen is Norwegian-born Penthouse model, glamour model, editor of the softcore porn magazine. She was born on February 15, 1967 in Ski, Norway.
Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared as Lek-Linda.
Linda Johansen was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in September 1990, stepping into the spotlight at 23 years old. Her measurements are 36-23-36. Linda Johansen has seductive blue eyes, honey blond hair, and natural breasts.
Linda Johansen brought Nordic beauty and entrepreneurial ambition to the pages of Penthouse in September 1990. Photographed by J. Stephen Hicks, the striking blonde from Norway quickly stood out as one of the magazine’s most memorable international Pets of the era.
Johansen proudly traced her ancestry back to Viking warriors. The heritage, she liked to say, explained both her fierce independence and her fearless spirit. With her statuesque figure, bright Nordic features, and confident personality, Linda embodied the dramatic contrast she often joked about: while Norway’s long winters might make people appear distant, beneath the surface Norwegians possessed a warm and passionate nature.
Alongside her modeling career, she worked as an advertising executive and studied sales, marketing, and economics. Her ambition was clear—she hoped one day to launch her own marketing and research firm. That mixture of intelligence and boldness made her stand out among Penthouse models of the period.
Despite her professional focus, Linda maintained a playful, adventurous streak. She once famously ran nude down a main street in Oslo to win a bet, a story she shared with characteristic humor. In relationships, she valued spontaneity above routine gestures, explaining that an unexpected act of affection meant far more to her than predictable traditions.
Her Penthouse appearance brought her international attention, while back in Norway she quickly became a recognizable media personality. In the early 1990s she gained the nickname “Lek-Linda†after becoming editor of the Norwegian soft-core magazine Lek. From 1993 to 1998 she helped lead several related publications, including Det Nye Cocktail and Kontakt Forum, turning them into financial successes while also serving as their most visible public face.
Johansen’s career expanded beyond publishing. During the mid-1990s she recorded a version of the pop hit “Hands Up†with the group Hype and appeared on Norwegian television, including an episode of the sitcom Mot i Brøstet. In the late 1990s she also operated popular nightclubs in Oslo before eventually stepping away from modeling and magazine publishing.
In 2004 Johansen published her autobiography For Everyone’s Eyes, reflecting on her years in the glamour industry and her journey toward building a new life beyond it. Since the early 2000s she has focused on entrepreneurship, running successful beauty salons in Norway, including Beauty Lounge and Beauty Express.
For Penthouse readers, Linda Johansen represented more than Scandinavian glamour—she symbolized a confident modern woman who combined beauty, ambition, and resilience, carrying the bold spirit of her Viking heritage into every chapter of her life.
