Uschi Digard was born in Saltsjö-Duvnäs, near Stockholm, Sweden. At 16 she left home and traveled to Paris and spent a year both there and then in Italy before journeying further to England. She returned to her native Sweden before finally settling in the United States in 1967. Working as a translator for the jewelry trade, she was told so often that she should model that she decided to give it a try. Before long she was appearing in adult movies and was eventually "discovered" by filmmaker Russ Meyer. After a long and illustrious career she retired in 1989.

She speaks eight languages (German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, French and English). Now married, she lives in Palm Springs for two weeks out of every month; the rest of the time she spends in her private pad in North Hollywood.



Was one of the most popular men's magazine models in the late '60s and '70s, and a favorite model and actress for photographer and filmmaker Russ Meyer, who specialized in showcasing "amply endowed" women. Of Swiss/Swedish descent, her deep tan was attributed to sunbathing in Florida.
