Elke Jeinsen

Born in Stockholm, Sweden on July 25, 1966, and raised in Hannover, Germany, Elke Jeinsen began her public career in 1986 after winning the Miss Hannover title. That same year, she was named Playboy Germany's Playmate of the Month for October, setting the stage for a modeling and acting career that has spanned more than three decades.

Playboy Career

Elke's association with Playboy extended well beyond her initial German appearance. She was featured as Playmate of the Month in the Italian edition in October 1993, followed by the Australian edition in December 1993. Early 1994 brought appearances in both the Czech Republic and Argentine editions, with March issues in each. Her spread in the U.S. edition of Playboy as "Miss May" in 1993 gave her significant international visibility during that period.

Television and Film Work

On the acting side, Elke appeared on the German television show Tutti Frutti and served as the Cin-Cin Girl on the Italian game show Colpo Grosso. Her most sustained screen work came through multiple appearances on Baywatch, where she took on various roles including an unnamed lifeguard, a beach girl, and several background parts. She also appeared in the TV movie Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding as a Lady Pirate. Her film credits include uncredited roles in Wayne's World 2 and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles.

Modeling and Fitness

Outside of Playboy, Elke worked as a fashion model in Italy for Versace. She has also worked as a fitness trainer, adding another professional dimension beyond her entertainment career. Standing 5'9" with blonde hair and blue eyes, she fit the physical profile that kept her working steadily across both European and American markets during the 1990s.

Career Longevity

With an active career dating back to approximately 1991 in front of the camera, and public visibility stretching to her 1986 pageant win, Elke has remained in the industry for a notably long time. Now 59, she continues to maintain a presence through social media and content platforms. Her career arc, from regional German pageant winner to international Playboy model to recurring television performer, reflects a path that moved fluidly between European and American entertainment industries across multiple decades.
