It wasn't long before I was shooting for my Centerfold at Playboy Studio West with Mario Casilli. It was so exciting! I soon found out just how far Playboy's reach could be, when I started to receive mail from the soldiers in Vietnam. Even today, I still have fans telling me how my picture helped them get through the war, and it means so much to me. I always tried to answer as many of those letters as I could. It was really touching to know that I could help them in any way.

Over the years, I've had many exciting experiences with Playboy. I appeared in the December 1979 issue in a Playmates Forever pictorial. This image has now been turned into my new trading card, plus it was in the 40th Anniversary Book. I did my first video in 1980 for Playmate Revisited and also a Playmate Revisted pictorial that appeared in the March 1996 issue of Playboy. I participated in the first Playmate Olympics in 1980. This was held at the Mansion in Holmby Hills and it was so much fun! Monique St. Pierre was our team captain, but unfortunately we didn't win. I remember one event during the week-long Olympics in which I really stood out. We had to slide across a greased bar over the pool on our stomachs with a football in our mouths! I think I was one of the only girls who made it all the way across. All the events were pretty wild like that.

These days I live in Boca Raton, Florida, with my dog Tasha, right across the street from the beach. I moved here a few years ago with my now ex-husband, when we decided to relocate our boat business from California. Currently I am kept busy with my mail order business. I sell my videos, photos, custom Polaroids and lingerie, and it is a really demanding business. On the weekends, I Rollerblade on the beach or go boating or waterskiing. And I've never been happier!
