She made her first appearance in Playboy nearly 20 years ago when she was just starting her career. She was named 1994 Playmate of the Year and last appeared in the magazine in bunny ears and fishnet stockings in 2005. "All I wanted to do was work with my clothes on, and now I just hope to get them off!" she told E! News, reflecting on her early days a pinup model.
