Victoria Silvstedt

Victoria Silvstedt Introduction

Few ladies can claim to have been a member of the Swedish National Ski Team. Fewer can claim to have been a Playboy Playmate of The Year. But only one woman can say that she was both, and that person is Victoria Silvstedt.

Victoria Silvstedt Life story

Victoria was a Winter Olympic hopeful until an accident on the slopes prevented her from competing again. Ever the trooper, she decided to get into the way more lucrative world of beauty pageants and, later, modeling. She was featured in ads for Coors and AXE (Boom Chicka Wah Wah!). Taking a cue from famous hot blondes like Claudia Schiffer and Anna Nicole Smith, she also became the face of Guess? Jeans. Hugh Hefner put her in Playboy in 1996, and, to the surprise of no one with a sense of sight, she won the coveted title of Playmate of the Year.

She has also tried her hand at acting recently. Her roles in Baseketball (Jenny McCarthy, Yasmine Bleeth) and Boat Trip (Vivica A. Fox, Roselyn Sanchez) didn’t require much beyond standing there and looking insanely hot (a task she’s proven adept at time and time again). She’s also currently hosting the Italian, French and Turkish version of Wheel of Fortune. Vanna White better start watching her back.
