Tall, lovely and shapely blonde Sharon Johansen was born on October 11, 1948 in Norway. Her family moved from Norway to Wisconsin when Johansen was one year old. Sharon worked as both a dog trainer and a receptionist for White House press secretary Pierre Salinger prior to becoming the Playmate of the Month in the October, 1972 issue of "Playboy." Johansen did a follow-up nude pictorial called "Playmates Forever!" in the December, 1979 issue of "Playboy." Following her stint as a Playmate of the Month, Sharon Johansen embarked on a brief acting career: She not only did guest spots on episodes of such TV shows as "Barnaby Jones," "Love, American Style," "Flying High," and "Charlie's Angels," but also had small parts in the comedy features "Your Three Minutes Are Up" and "The Jerk."
