Laura Lyons Bio
Laura Lyons is an American Playboy Bunny, actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on October 22, 1954, in Los Angeles, California. Playboy named her its February 1976 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Lyons has natural breasts, brown eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 35-25-37.
Before the centerfold made her a familiar face in magazine racks, Lyons was making news on the floor of the Chicago Playboy Club. Employed there as a Bunny, she helped organize a short, decisive walkout over the club’s rules; the action won concrete concessions—among them the right for Bunnies to date customers and to socialize off the clock—and even drew approval from Hugh Hefner. That episode left a different kind of mark than a photograph: it framed Lyons as someone who treated the job as work with boundaries, not merely costume and coquettish routine.
Her look was the work of two of Playboy’s most practiced lenses. Photographers Dwight Hooker and Mario Casilli shot the centerfold that introduced her to the magazine’s readership, and she also carried the club’s glamour aloft as one of Playboy’s Jet Bunnies on the private DC‑9, a traveling emblem of the brand’s hospitality operation.
A taste of Hollywood followed. Lyons turned up in small screen and film work, including a guest appearance on Love, American Style and an uncredited part in The Godfather Part II, before taking a leading role as Cynthia Madison in the 1977 shark thriller Tintorera, a cult entry in the post‑Jaws wave of genre cinema.
Her story continued away from magazine pages and movie sets. Lyons raised a family in Los Angeles; her daughter, Lily Aldridge, would go on to a high-profile modeling career of her own. Taken together, the record shows a working life that mixed runway glamour, a handful of film credits and a moment of labor assertiveness—qualities that give her Playboy-era image a distinctly practical, no‑nonsense edge.
