Welcome to my Playmate Personal Page! I hope you enjoy it!
It all began in Portsmouth, Virginia, where I was raised by my mother, who

modeled in the Fifties, and my stepfather, a colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps. I was turned on to rock 'n' roll by my grandfather, who played me my first Elvis Presley
record. I went absolutely crazy! I was only seven, but I knew that from that point on, music was going to be my life. As I grew older and heard the Beatles, and then the Stones, my mind was made up -- it was rock 'n' roll for me!
I was educated in traditional parochial schools, where I studied dance and dreamed of becoming a professional ballerina. A growth spurt threw a monkey wrench into
that plan, so I decided to take up basketball. I grew fond of the sport and even

considered pursuing it professionally. I graduated from high school in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. At that point in my life, I was willing to do whatever it took to get me out of that small town and into New York City!
My dreams finally came to fruition when my mother sent photos of me to Eileen Ford, head of Ford Modeling Agency. Three days after she received them, I was summoned to the Big Apple. I left Virginia and never looked back! I was only 18, but Eileen took me under her wing. I moved into St. Mary's Women's Residence and began my career as a Ford model. I was instantly enamored with all that New York City had to offer.

fell in love with rocker Todd Rundgren. He introduced me to famous rock photographer Lynn Goldsmith, who persuaded me to take some rather sexy photos for her. I remember the photo shoot: We had some wine, and Lynn invited me to pose for some photos up on the roof of Todd's and my house. She submitted those photos to Playboy and I received a response immediately! They flew me to Chicago to take some test photos, which you can actually see in Playboy's Playmate Tests. Photographer Richard Fegley shot my Centerfold, and here's some trivia: It was his very first for Playboy! Posing for Playboy wasn't as much of a sexual experience for me as it was a liberating one. If I were to pose again, it would be for the same reasons I did it in 1974: to make a statement and to break down some doors.
