She plays a recurring character on a TV series that has been on the air since the Nixon administration, but we'll wager that Playboy readers are more likely to recognize Deanna Russo from a commercial for Axe body spray. First, the big honking credit: She's Dr. Logan Armstrong on The Young and the Restless. No, we don't watch it either. In the deodorant ad, Deanna plays a girl driven by Axe's potent scent to rip her boyfriend's father's clothes off; as she goes in for the kill, she warbles a porny bow chicka wow wow. "I was in a drugstore recently, and this couple was looking at Axe products," she recalls. "As I walked by I gave them a bow chicka wow wow. They were not amused." You can also catch Deanna in a trio of horror DVDs: Rest Stop, Believers and Ghost Voyage. "I pretty much die in everything," she admits. "I won't say whether I come back to life." Deanna has also ventured into modeling, but she generally doesn't do swimwear. "Most girls you see in bikinis have square-crotch," she sighs. "When they put their feet together, there's air between their legs. I was born with thighs; it's the Italian curse." Ever since she watched Kill Bill with her mother, Deanna has been unjustly critical of her feet as well: "There are scenes where you see Uma Thurman's feet. They're not pretty. My mom said, 'Ugh, she's got feet like yours. Couldn't they have used a foot model?' Thanks, Mom."
