Patti Reynolds Bio
Patti Reynolds is an American Playboy Bunny, glamour model, and actress. She was born on May 28, 1948, in Chicago, Illinois. Playboy named her its September 1965 Playmate. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.
Reynolds has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-19-34.
Her centerfold was shot by Stan Malinowski, a photographer whose mid‑century eye gave the spread the composed, magazine‑ready polish that marked many of the era’s most memorable pictorials. The images themselves carried an extra wrinkle of controversy: Reynolds had posed while still sixteen, and the pictorial’s publication was held until she reached seventeen to satisfy legal requirements. That early clash between youth and publicity became a defining detail of the sequence surrounding her emergence in the pages.
Before the spread, Reynolds worked at the Chicago Playboy Club, where the city’s nightlife and the club’s social scene placed her at the intersection of media, celebrity and a very public form of hospitality work. Her time there was later preserved in Kathryn Leigh Scott’s book The Bunny Years; the volume reproduces a photograph of her alongside fellow Bunnies such as Ashlyn Martin and includes a short biographical contribution from Reynolds herself, giving the record a first‑hand touch that many archive entries lack.
Her life beyond modeling briefly turned from glossy columns to federal subpoenas. In January 1966 she was called before a grand jury probing organized crime in Chicago; press reports at the time linked her romantically to Frank “The Horse” Buccieri and noted that she was subpoenaed alongside figures including Fiori “Fifi” Buccieri and Charles “Chuckie” English. The episode drew significant media attention and folded an unexpected legal chapter into a public profile otherwise built around pageantry and nightlife.
That combination of early‑career publicity, a documented place in the social world of the Chicago club scene, and an uncomfortable brush with high‑profile law enforcement has kept Reynolds as a name visitors to the archives notice—partly for the photographs, and partly for the odd, true‑life coda that followed them.
