Victoria Valentino Bio 
Victoria Valentino is an American actress, glamour and nude model. Born Vicki Carbe on December 13, 1942, in Los Angeles, California, she has also been credited as Vickie Carbe, Victoria Carbe, Vicki Corbe, and Victoria Wales. Playboy named her its September 1963 Playmate at 20. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.
Valentino has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 35-22-35.
Her striking centerfold was shot by Mario Casilli, and the spread remains notable in the magazine’s visual record: Valentino was the first Playmate to appear completely shaved, a small but unmistakable moment of editorial daring that helped fix the image in readers’ memories. The photograph’s cool, composed surface, however, concealed complications she would later make public.
Valentino has been candid about those complications. At the time the pictorial ran she was married and newly pregnant; years afterward she spoke publicly about the emotional and physical abuse she endured in that marriage, most notably in an essay she published for the Los Angeles Times in the wake of the 1995 O.J. Simpson trial. The decision to tell that story decades later reframed how some readers revisited the centerfold’s expression and its context.
Personal tragedy followed. Valentino’s young son drowned at age six, an event she says derailed a budding singing career and reshaped her priorities. In the years that followed she rebuilt a professional life far from the camera: training as a hospice nurse, organizing Playmate alumni events, and hosting a cable television program devoted to women’s empowerment. Those roles positioned caregiving and connection at the center of her public work.
More recently Valentino has been a visible advocate for survivors of abuse and for parents of missing children. In 2014 she publicly accused Bill Cosby of raping her in 1970, adding her voice to a wider reckoning. Whatever the era, her story in public has moved beyond the single magazine image—toward advocacy, support work, and a continued presence among the community of models who remember and revisit their own histories.
