Cyndi Wood Bio 
Cyndi Wood is an American actress, glamour and nude model. Born Cynthia Lynn Wood on September 25, 1950, in Burbank, California, she has also been credited as Cynthia Wood. Playboy named her its February 1973 Playmate at 22. She was later named Playmate of the Year 1974. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Wood has natural breasts, blue eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-22-34.
The daughter of an actress, Wood took an academic route before the camera: she studied psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, a detail that undercut any simple “discovered” narrative and gave her an uncommon footing as she moved toward public work in the 1970s. Her early interest in performing arts informed a comfort onstage and onscreen that would color both her modeling and occasional film work.
Her Playboy pictorial was shot by William Figge, a collaboration that placed her images into calendars, magazine covers and promotional appearances beyond the centerfold itself. Those assignments enlarged her visibility within the era’s commercial glamour circuit and made her a frequent face at publicity events tied to the magazine and its advertisers.
Onscreen, Wood added small but memorable touches to a handful of genre pictures through the late 1970s and into the 1980s. She appears among the spectral faces in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, materializing briefly in the Overlook Hotel’s Gold Room, and turned up in films like Van Nuys Blvd., work that kept her present in both cult cinema and the light-entertainment pieces that populated drive-in and late-night schedules.
Measured against a career that blended pinup exposure with bit parts and steady promotional work, Wood’s presence exemplifies a particular 1970s path: a performer who navigated campus study, magazine pages, and small-screen moments without surrendering the varied interests that first sent her to UCLA. Her credits may be modest, but they form a coherent portrait of a working model-actress of the decade, remembered for the images and brief screen apparitions that continued to circulate among fans of vintage glamour and cult film.
