Biography of Karina Lombard

Karina Lombard is an actress and singer. Her real name is Katrina, which is just one letter longer than her stage name. She was born on January 21, 1969, in Tahiti, French Polynesia. Karina Lombard has Sioux Indian roots from her mother's side, while her father is a European aristocrat of Italian-Russian-Swedish descent. Despite being born in Tahiti, she acquired American citizenship. When she was only one year old, her parents separated, and her father, Henry Lombard, took Karina and her four siblings to Spain, specifically Barcelona. She attended several schools in Switzerland, where she was treated as a "savage" due to her Native American heritage. Fluent in five languages, she moved to New York at the age of 18 to pursue a career as a model and actress.
