Gunilla Knutson is a Swedish model, actress and author. She was named Miss Sweden during 1961 and was a semi-finalist in the Miss Universe pageant during that same year.

She is most famous for a series of Noxzema Medicated shaving cream commercials from 1967 - 1973 in which she urged men to "take it off, take it all off" (referring to facial hair). During 1973, she appeared with Joe Namath in such a commercial when he was the star quarterback for the New York Jets American football team. Gunilla Knutson later became spokesperson and vice-president of sales for Rose Milk Skin Care Lotion.^[1]

A photograph of Gunilla Knutson appeared on the cover of the December 11, 1970 issue of Life Magazine. This issue of Life magazine, with the caption 'Model Gunilla Knutson owns a health food store', featured a three page article entitled 'The Move To Eat Natural' with a photo of Gunilla Knutson at her store Nature's Children, of which she was part owner.

In the 1990s, she worked as a wine taster for Sabrina Wine Importers and a gymnastic instructor at the Buckley Elementary School in Manhattan.^{[2] [3]}
