Lena Söderberg (born 31 March 1951 in Sweden) appeared as a Playmate in the November 1972 issue of Playboy magazine,[1] under the name Lenna Sjööblom. Her centerfold was photographed by Dwight Hooker.
Her photo (known as Lenna) is often used to test algorithms in digital image processing.[2] She was a guest at the 50th annual Conference of the Society for Imaging Science and Technology in 1997 where she gave a presentation about herself.[3] Because of the ubiquity of her Playboy photo scan, she has been called the "first lady of the internet".[4]
