How did a quiet country girl become a sex film goddess?
‘Simple’, explains Christina Lindberg, sensation of 1970s erotic cinema and star of Anita.‘Just go sunbathing…’ What were you like as a girl? I was a little bit shy. I was good in school. I especially loved gymnastics and history. I read everything about ancient Egypt. My mother was divorced and was working hard all the time so I was rather alone, taking care of my two brothers and my sister at home. Did you get a lot of attention from boys? I was thin and small up until the age of 15 but after that, yes, I did. A lot. I liked it when people looked at me so I used to wear crazy clothes. How did you get into making sex films like Exposed and Wide Open? I was 18 and on the beach in Gothenburg, it was summer, and some people asked to take my photograph. After a while there were a lot of them and they paid me. I didn’t have much money growing up, so I thought it was OK. After I had been in the daily newspaper, our equivalent of The Sun, I did a cover and a fold-out for a men’s magazine.
