Karen Hafter Bio
Karen Hafter is an American glamour and nude model. She was born on December 27, 1954, in New York City, New York. Playboy named her its December 1976 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Hafter has natural breasts, brown eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 35-23-35.
Sometimes the best discoveries happen when you least expect them. For Karen Hafter fate intervened in a way only Hollywood could script. One moment she was waiting tables in Los Angeles, and the next, she was Playmate royalty. The woman who spotted her? None other than Miss May 1967, Anne Randall. When Anne saw Karen, she knew she had the kind of beauty that belonged in the pages of Playboy. She introduced her to the magazine, and just like that, a new star was born.
Her centerfold, photographed by Phillip Dixon, captured her in all her natural glory-sensual, confident, and captivating. But this wasn't just a one-time affair with Playboy. Karen's striking looks and smoldering presence earned her even more cover girl honors, gracing the January 1977 issue of Playboy US and the February 1977 edition of Playboy Japan. Clearly, the world couldn't get enough of her.
Unlike some Playmates who use their centerfold as a launchpad to Hollywood dreams, Karen was more than happy to keep things on her own terms. Modeling suited her just fine, and she built an impressive career in front of the camera, working in and around Los Angeles, where she continued to turn heads and set pulses racing.
A classic beauty, a Hollywood discovery, and a woman who made her mark in Playboy history, Karen remains a testament to how the right moment, the right place, and the right person can turn everyday magic into something extraordinary.
