It's scary that you think of her as a "future reality-star queen."

I look at the 1995 date and think, "Wasn't she past her sell-by date by then? She was Playmate of the Year around 1982-3, no?"

By 1995, she was making her biggest attempt to get past the Playboy brand and become something more than a blond bimbo. But she never pulled off that Jessica Lange thing, and the last resort was the reality-show rout--which tacks five minutes of fame after the normal 15 have expired.
