I have lived in New Jersey all my life. With
the support I received from family and friends I started modeling when
I was 18 years old.
I pursued my modeling
career in New York and it was there that I found myself in front of
the New York Playboy Club and on a whim tried to be and was accepted
as a Bunny at the club. The first week I was there I met Pompeo Posar
who took test shoots of me for Playboy and so began an experience that
continues to the present. As a result of Pompeo's shots I became a
Playmate and was featured in the June 1969 issue of Playboy as that
month's centerfold.
Being a Bunny was a good
experience, I loved the costume, although it was very uncomfortable,
it just made you look so damn sexy! I loved the attention, wouldn't
any young girl? Although it was smoky and dark in the club rooms, it
was fun for the time I did it. You do meet interesting and memorable
people, mobsters, entertainers, and famous people. As far as the other
Bunnies working there, well, girls can be rough on you when you are 19
and didn't even start working there until asked to become a playmate.
A little jealous, but that is human nature. I guess I would have been
too if I wanted something and all of the sudden the new girl on the
block gets everything. But all in all it was fun and a happy
experience.
After being a Bunny for
three years I continued with modeling and acting in New York City. I
still model and continue to model in the pin up world. I have appeared
in Playboy magazine as a 'Playmate revisited' in the August 1997
issue. I can also be seen in other pin up & glamour magazines,
including 'Glamour Girls Then and Now' issue 15.
I have lead a healthy
lifestyle my entire adult life. I am a firm believer in exercise and
eating unprocessed foods as much as possible. I believe in holistic
healing along with conventional medicine. Skin care is very important
to me and I would like someday to own my own cosmetic and beauty line.
I am currently writing a book on my experiences.
Many people ask me what
is your secret in looking and acting so youthful, so it would be nice
to share that. It is no secret a positive attitude, exercise and
treating your body with respect and utmost care are just some of the
things I do.
I have studied astrology
for about 25 years now and believe it has major influence on how I
live. I have always loved art. I paint and draw landscapes or
beautiful woman. I will feature some of my drawings of my pin up girls
in the future on my site.
I am really thankful to
Mr. Hugh Hefner for making my life a dream come true for picking me as
Miss June 1969. All the people associated with Playboy have always
been supportive and very kind to me. And his parties are the best!!
By the way, the
photographer who did my first professional pictures in 1968 before I
became a centerfold recently met with me again and we are working
together on new photographs.
Love,
