Christine Koren Bio
Christine Koren is an American glamour and nude model. She was born on August 8, 1947, in Cleveland, Ohio, and has also been credited as Chris Koren. Playboy named her its March 1970 Playmate at 22. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Koren has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 35-24-35.
Her centerfold was photographed by William and Mel Figge, a credit that places the image squarely within the magazine’s craft-focused portrait tradition and explains the pictorial’s careful balance of light and restraint. The Figges’ approach favored classical composition over flash, and in those frames Koren’s features read as both composed and inviting—an effect the pictorial allows the eye to linger on rather than hurry past.
The pictures themselves trade on a quiet sort of glamour: the supplied notes describe a beauty that reads as at once innocent and alluring, with a sophistication of line that made the spread easy to live with in the pages. That combination—grace under the camera’s gaze, a precise photographic hand, and styling that emphasized poise—helped the imagery sit comfortably alongside the magazine’s more overtly theatrical pictorials of the era.
Beyond the centerfold, the available record treats Koren’s Playboy work as one notable chapter rather than the whole story. Contemporary notes and later archive descriptions gesture to a career and public presence that outlived a single appearance, and the pictorial itself survives as an exemplar of the Figges’ restrained studio craft and of a kind of glamour that prefers suggestion to shout.
