5/80 The Stewardess issue hits the stands. I land my first acting job in Michael Crichton's
"Looker" with Albert Finney and James Coburn.
6/80 I'm asked by Hefner to be a Playmate. I said "No, I don't want to
lose my job". During this period Dorothy Stratton (the '80 P.M.O.Y) was
murdered by her husband Paul. Hef calls a meeting and pleads with me to
do the Playmate shoot so he can get me in the December 80 issue in time
to be Playmate of the Year for 1981. He told me he liked my looks and
brains and Playboy needed an Ambassador to combat the media attention
surrounding Dorothy's murder. I told him I wasn't sure I wanted to pose
nude for fear of losing my job with United. He said he would guarantee
I'd be Playmate of the Year. I said "Yes".
9/80 I fly to Japan to shoot my Playmate layout. I love that country!
The tradition, the beauty, the food, what great people!
11/80 I moved in with Candy Loving and Sondra Theodore. We shot a
Roommate Pictorial for later release.
12/80 Playmate issue with me as Miss December out.
2/81 Roommates cover with Candy and Sondra released. I flew to Jamaica
and Tahiti to shoot my pictorial for the Playmate of the Year issue.
4/81 Married Kings All-Star Charlie Simmer.
5/81 Playmate of the Year pictorial and cover issue.
6/81 Start my year long tour as P.M.O.Y. 1981.
