Debra Peterson Bio 
Debra Peterson is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on April 13, 1955, in Santa Monica, California. Playboy named her its June 1976 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Peterson has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 36-24-34.
The June 1976 Playboy profile that introduced Peterson to a national audience emphasized an unexpectedly practical upbringing: raised in the equestrian community of Rolling Hills, she began riding at six, worked for a thoroughbred trainer as a groom and exercise rider, and by 1976 had purchased a thoroughbred of her own. That hands-on stable work — which she left about a year before the magazine feature because the risk of injury didn’t seem worth the pay — undercut any simple pinup narrative and anchored her public image in a real-world routine of care, early mornings and long drives.
Playboy’s piece also presented small domestic details that suggested a life lived partly off the page. Identified there as “Debbie” and noted as the youngest of four children, she had lived through her parents’ separation as a teenager and moved between households before striking out on her own. At the time of the profile she shared an apartment in Marina del Rey with a boyfriend who worked as a technical adviser to filmmakers, and kept a Volkswagen for the roughly 45‑minute commute to Rolling Hills.
Her leisure list read like a Southern California sampler: water‑skiing, snow‑skiing and flying earned mentions, alongside a practical if tentative career plan. She told the magazine she hoped to pursue a business path — possibly as a fashion buyer — and anticipated returning to school within a year or two, suggesting plans that reached beyond modeling and magazine pages.
After that brief moment of publicity, Peterson largely retreated from the spotlight rather than building a visible entertainment résumé. That retreat, combined with the very particular mix of thoroughbred chores and seaside pursuits recorded in her Playboy profile, is what gives her centerfold its quietly distinctive texture: not merely a glamour photograph but a portrait that caught someone who lived with one foot in a stable and the other in sunlit California leisure.
