Kristine Winder

Playboy Playmate, Miss October 1977

Kristine Winder Bio

Kristine Winder was a Canadian actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on October 15, 1955, in Vancouver, Canada. Playboy named her its October 1977 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.

Winder had natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-25-34.

Her centerfold was captured by the legendary Mario Casilli. Titled "Invitation to the Dance," her pictorial showcased her lithe, graceful form in a dance studio-an elegant celebration of movement and sensuality.

A natural beauty with a poised, statuesque figure, Kristine approached her Playboy shoot with both excitement and apprehension. She made the bold decision to use a pseudonym in an attempt to keep her appearance a secret from her father. However, the name change did little to shield her from the unexpected consequences of her newfound fame. After her issue hit newsstands, people from across North America went searching for the elusive "Kristine Winder," resulting in several Vancouver families with the Winder surname receiving unwanted attention, including obscene phone calls.

Despite the unintended notoriety, Kristine's pictorial remains a stunning tribute to the feminine form in motion, blending the grace of a dancer with the bold confidence of a Playboy centerfold. While she chose to keep a low profile following her Playboy days, her moment in the spotlight remains a striking example of beauty, artistry, and the sometimes unpredictable power of Playboy fame.
