March 11, 1951 / Pisces / Age 73
Karen Christy {MODEL_WAS_IS} an American Playboy model, glamour model, Playboy Bunny, and Hugh Hefner lover. She was born on March 11, 1951 in Abilene, Texas, United States. Karen Christy measurements are 37-24-36, she has natural breasts.
Karen Christy was Playboy Playmate of the Month for December 1971. She was awarded the prestigious title of Playboy Playmate at the age of 20.
Her centerfold was expertly photographed by Pompeo Posar. With a fresh-faced charm and classic blonde beauty, Karen embodied the allure of the early '70s Playmates. But her story goes far beyond the pages of Playboy-it's intertwined with the history of the magazine itself and its legendary founder, Hugh Hefner.
Karen attended North Texas University for a year before making her way to Dallas, where she attended a job fair for prospective Playboy Bunnies. That opportunity led her to the Playboy Club in Chicago, where her beauty and charisma quickly caught the attention of the magazine's editors. Before long, she was selected as a Playmate, securing her place in Playboy history.
Behind the scenes, Karen became one of Hefner's most infamous Playmate-lovers. She took on the unofficial role of "first lady" of the Chicago Playboy Mansion while Hefner simultaneously maintained a serious relationship with Playmate Barbi Benton, who resided at the Los Angeles mansion. The dual romances remained a well-kept secret for years-until both women discovered the truth, leading to the unraveling of both relationships by 1976.
Karen largely retreated from the public eye after her Playmate days, but in 1998, she found herself back in the headlines when publisher Larry Flynt featured explicit photos of her and Hefner in the August issue of Hustler magazine-photos that reignited curiosity about her role in the Playboy empire.
Though her time in the spotlight was brief, Karen Christy remains one of the most intriguing figures in Playboy history, a Playmate whose beauty, romance, and scandal cemented her place in the magazine's legacy.
