Samulin was born on 27 February 1927 in Ignoila, Salmi, Finland (present-day Russia). The village was part of the municipality of Salmi, until it was annexed to Suojärvi in 1931. Ignoila was the easternmost of the villages in the so-called "Hyrsylä curve".
Samulin's father was killed in action as a troop leader in the Continuation War on 27 July 1941.[3] Samulin's uncle, Sten Suvio, was an Olympic boxer.
In 1954, Samulin was chosen as a mannequin queen.[4]
Samulin was the director of her own dance school and worked as a filming secretary at Suomen Filmiteollisuus. In the 1960s Samulin founded a fashion dance school called Rytmikkäät mannekiinit, (rhythmical mannequins).
From 1989 to 1996, Samulin was a member of the city council of Espoo, representing the Centre Party. From 1997, she was a member of the City Council of Helsinki, representing the National Coalition Party. Since 2001, she was a deputy member of the city council of Helsinki. She was a member of the Helsinki Week Foundation and of its environmental board, as well as a deputy member of the Helsinki Theatre Foundation.
In 2001, a film of Samulin's life called Tango Kabaree was made, with Samulin playing herself. She also played herself in the film Uuno Turhapuro – This Is My Life and on one episode of the TV sitcomFakta homma.
Samulin had a Karelian-style house called "Hyrsylän mutka" in the village of Hyrsylä, Nummi, Lohja, which is a local sight.[5] The house was named after the village of Hyrsylä in the Republic of Karelia, which was ceded to Russia after the Continuation War.[6]
