Christina Lindberg in Sex and Fury.

Christina Lindberg (born 6 December 1950, Gothenburg, Sweden) is a Swedish actress, pin-up girl and journalist.

At the age of 18 she started to pose nude for a men's magazine, and the next year she got her first part in a movie, a Swedish comedy. She played in a couple of Swedish, German and Japanese nude movies, but there were no actual sex in any of them. She also happened to act in the first colour movie filmed in Tunisia (Yusra).

In 1974 she starred in the controversial film Thriller - en grym film. Christina did not like that nude pictures were getting more and more pornographic and during the filming of Gerard Damiano's Nathalie she simply left the set and returned home. Damiano tried to persuade Christina to continue with a stand-in for the more pornographic scenes but she refused and the film was never finished.

She did some posing and acting but started taking evening classes in journalism and then to work for her fiancé's aviation magazine Flygrevyn. Since her fiancé died in 2004, she is the owner and editor-in-chief of the magazine, which is the largest aviation magazine in Scandinavia.

Christina is a keen mushroom picker and in 1993 she recorded a 20 minute instructional video (Christinas svampskola).

She recorded a few songs at the height of her acting career, but her singing career was never particularly successful and she should not be confused with the Swedish singer of the same name.
