Linne Nanette Ahlstrand, a ravishing 5'2" blonde beauty, entered the world on July 1, 1936, in the vibrant city of Chicago, Illinois. Born with a sparkle in her eye, Ahlstrand's petite frame belied her big dreams, as she sought to make a name for herself in the cutthroat world of modeling and acting.
With a burning desire to succeed, Ahlstrand packed her bags and left her hometown of Hollywood, California, for the bright lights and endless opportunities of New York City. It was in the Big Apple that she would make her mark, gracing the pages of the iconic July 1958 issue of "Playboy" as the Playmate of the Month.
But Ahlstrand's talents extended far beyond the realm of modeling. She had a penchant for the silver screen, and her credits include a small but memorable role as Natalie the bar girl in the 1956 film "Beast from Haunted Cave" and a more substantial part as Diane in the 1961 film "Living Venus." Her television credits were equally impressive, with a recurring role as a dispatcher on the popular action crime series "Highway Patrol."
As her star continued to rise, Ahlstrand's personal life began to take center stage. In September 1965, she returned to the Los Angeles area and tied the knot with her soon-to-be husband on September 7 of that same year. Despite her busy schedule as an actress and model, Ahlstrand remained devoted to her craft, continuing to work in the entertainment industry until her untimely passing.
Tragedy struck on January 18, 1967, when Ahlstrand lost her battle with cancer at the devastatingly young age of 30. Though her life was cut short, Linne Nanette Ahlstrand's legacy lives on, a testament to her boundless talent, her unwavering dedication, and her enduring beauty.
