Kristine Hanson

Playboy Playmate of The Month for September 1974

Kristine Hanson Bio

Kristine Hanson is an American television personality, glamour and nude model. She was born on September 23, 1951, in Chicago, Illinois. Playboy named her its September 1974 Playmate at 22. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.

Hanson has natural breasts, brown eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-23-35.

Hanson’s centerfold was photographed by David Chan, a studio hand whose eye framed the pictorial with the quiet polish that defined many of the magazine’s midcentury features. The images brought her a visibility beyond routine fashion pages and, in the years that followed, coincided with a turn toward work in front of television cameras.

Her on-air career won industry recognition: she earned an Emmy and took first place in the American Women in Radio and Television awards, honors that speak to a practiced professionalism rather than a one-off celebrity moment. Those distinctions document sustained work in broadcasting rather than a brief flirtation with the medium.

Seen together, the photographer’s composed study and the later broadcast accolades sketch a career that moved between photographed glamour and the steadier demands of television—an uncommon, verifiable combination of credits that shaped her public life after the magazine appearance.
