She was born as Susanna Ragnarsdotter Östberg on April 1, 1920 in Stockholm to Ragnar Östberg and Carin Thiel. Both her parents had been married before and had divorced their spouses.[3] She had six older half-sisters, three on her father's side (Gunvor Östberg, Hervor Östberg and Elsvor Östberg) and three on her mother's side (Ulla Lidman-Frostenson, Ann-Marie Lidman and Karin Olga Elisabeth Lidman).[4]

She started studying ballet as a young girl, and she appeared as a dancer in several Swedish films in the 1930s and 1940s, as well as in variety shows and revues.[3][5]

She was married twice; first in 1941 to Sven Arne Gillgren with whom she had two daughters, Carina (born 1943) and Marianne (born 1945).[6] They divorced in 1949, and in the same year she married Povel Ramel, who had first noticed her when she was a dancer at Södra Teatern.[3] The couple had two children: Mikael (born 19 January 1949) and Charlotte (Lotta), (born 29 September 1957).[1] In the 2018 film Ted: För kärlekens skull, Lotta Ramel plays the role of Susanna.[7]
