Born in hockey-mad Malmö, Sweden on May 10, Janna Svenson was a self-confessed wild girl growing up. She somehow always managed to get into trouble, so perhaps her present career is a natural extension of her former mischievous ways. The tall, awkward teenager, who had an interest in nursing, blossomed into a virtual goddess and while employed at a local bakery, was discovered by a talent scout who knew upon first glance what side Svenson's bread was buttered on.
