Sharon Cintron Bio
Sharon Cintron was an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on January 16, 1945, in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Playboy named her its May 1963 Playmate at 18. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.
Cintron had natural breasts, hazel eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 36-23-36.
Sharon Cintron was already balancing work and study when Playboy entered her life. By day she worked as a receptionist in a law office; at night she attended UCLA classes in applied psychology. She enjoyed the subject without surrendering herself completely to its theories, joking that her romantic streak made love at first sight considerably more appealing than reducing human behavior to conditioned responses.
Her curiosity extended easily beyond psychology. Cintron was interested in portrait painting, experimented with yoga and approached food with equal enthusiasm, particularly Japanese dishes such as sashimi. Cooking was one domestic skill she claimed happily, even while admitting that housekeeping held considerably less fascination. She joked that a good marinara sauce could attract attention more reliably than perfume—a suitably practical theory from someone studying the mysteries of human behavior.
Mario Casilli photographed her centerfold, but acting eventually became the more substantial extension of her camera work. Cintron accumulated television credits on series including Get Smart, The Monkees, Mannix, McMillan & Wife and Quincy. Her most sustained television work came with a recurring role on Baretta, carrying her considerably farther into show business than she had expected when she initially dismissed the idea of becoming another underpaid Hollywood starlet.
That change of direction is one of the more interesting parts of Cintron’s story. Early on, she talked seriously about becoming a hairstylist because it offered creative work and dependable income; television gradually presented another path altogether. Yet the priorities she described remained surprisingly consistent. Art, cooking, psychology and acting all interested her, but she reserved the greatest importance for something much less professional: finding genuine love rather than simply accumulating success.
