Nancy Harwood Bio
Nancy Harwood was an American glamour and nude model. She was born on December 17, 1948, in Riverside, California. Playboy named her its February 1968 Playmate at 19. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.
Harwood had natural breasts, blue eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 36-22-35.
When Nancy Harwood stepped into the Playboy in February 1968, she was the picture of youthful innocence and classic American beauty. Her centerfold, captured by William Figge and Ed DeLong, highlighted her natural charm and girl-next-door appeal. But behind the camera, Nancy was still finding her way in the world. As she later revealed in her Playboy biography, she was "really inexperienced, still a virgin, in fact" at the time of her pictorial-making her one of the most refreshingly candid Playmates of her era.
Born into a tight-knit family, Nancy had an older brother and an older sister, and her father was a pharmacist, instilling in her a strong sense of discipline and responsibility. While her Playboy experience thrust her into the spotlight, she later built a career beyond the pages of the magazine. She became a representative for several jewelry makers, a profession that allowed her to combine elegance with business savvy.
Nancy also stayed connected to the Playboy family over the years, taking on the prestigious role of president of the Centerfold Alumni Association, a position that allowed her to represent and celebrate the legacy of Playmates from across the decades.
With a unique mix of beauty, sophistication, and business acumen, Nancy Harwood remains a classic example of a woman who gracefully transitioned from centerfold stardom to a fulfilling career-proving that a Playmate's story doesn't end with the turn of a magazine page.
