Carol Imhof Bio
Carol Imhof is an American teacher, Playboy Bunny, glamour and nude model. She was born on March 13, 1948, in Chicago, Illinois. Playboy named her its December 1970 Playmate at 22. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Imhof has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 38-25-35.
Imhof’s centerfold carries the quiet craft of three different camera hands: Dwight Hooker, Gene Trindl and Alexas Urba each took turns shaping the pictorial’s light and mood, producing images that emphasize composure rather than costume. The result reads less like a stunt and more like a set of carefully framed portraits—work that let the subject register as present and purposeful amid the magazine’s glossy procession of faces.
Before those pages, she was pursuing elementary-education studies at Southern Illinois University and treating teaching as a genuine next act rather than a publicity line. While working at the Playboy Club in Chicago, she became a fixture on the floor and in club contests, tying for first runner-up in the inaugural “Bunny of the Year” beauty contest—a concrete credential of visibility inside the company’s own nightlife circuit.
Imhof’s magazine history runs slightly ahead of her centerfold: pictorials in the July 1969 and February 1970 issues put her before readers in two separate stretches of the magazine’s schedule, offering repeated glimpses rather than a single debut. Those successive appearances, coupled with the three-camera fold, gave her a compact but textured run in Playboy’s photo pages across 1969–1970.
What emerges from the record is a tidy career moment rather than a long arc: a college student who worked the Chicago club scene, won local recognition, and sat for photographers whose names anchored her images in the magazine’s portrait tradition. The balance between classroom plans and magazine work is part of what makes her file feel of its moment—one of many stories from an era when club floors, contest stages and the editorial offices often intersected in plain, practical ways.
