February 8, 1959 - December 4, 2010 / Aquarius / Age 51
Pamela Jean Bryant was an American-born Playboy model, glamour model, and actress. She was born under the sign of Aquarius on February 8, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. She is also known in the industry as Pamela Bryant.
Pamela Jean Bryant was Playboy Playmate of the Month for April 1978. She was awarded the prestigious title of Playboy Playmate at the age of 19. Her measurements are 35-24-35. Pamela Jean Bryant had enhanced breasts, sparkling blue eyes, and luminous blond hair.
Her centerfold was shot by the talented Richard Fegley. But her journey with Playboy began even earlier-she first appeared in the September 1977 pictorial "The Girls of the Big Ten", celebrating college beauties, while she was studying telecommunications at Indiana University.
Pamela had a striking, all-American look that made her a natural in front of the camera. But modeling was just the beginning-she had her sights set on Hollywood. After her Playboy appearance, she quickly transitioned into acting, landing roles in a mix of television series and films throughout the late '70s and '80s.
On the big screen, she stood out as the snobbish sorority girl Terri Lynn in the wild college comedy "H.O.T.S.", played an ill-fated model in the gritty thriller "Don't Answer the Phone!", and brought charm to the cult comedy "Lunch Wagon". She even took a rare leading role as a former adult star in "The Killing Jar" in 1994.
Television audiences also became familiar with Pamela, as she made guest appearances in some of the most popular shows of the era, including "Fantasy Island", "The Dukes of Hazzard", "Eight Is Enough", "The Incredible Hulk", "T.J. Hooker", and "Magnum, P.I."
Later in life, Pamela stepped away from the entertainment industry and channeled her creative energy into painting, specializing in faux finishes and artistic design. Her journey from Midwestern college student to Playboy centerfold to Hollywood actress was one filled with ambition and reinvention-a true testament to her talent and versatility.
