Vicki Witt

Playboy Playmate of The Month for August 1978

Vicki Witt Bio

Vicki Witt is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on April 13, 1959, in Lansing, Michigan. Playboy named her its August 1978 Playmate at 19. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.

Witt has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 36-24-36.

Her radiant centerfold was captured by Pompeo Posar, one of the magazine’s most dependable studio photographers; the shot rounded a run of editorial work that began the year before, when she appeared in the September 1977 "Girls of the Big Ten" pictorial. Those pages introduced a Midwest look at ease with athletic activity and casual charm, qualities that carried through the images Posar and the studio sought to preserve.

Raised as something of a tomboy, she spent childhood and adolescence playing hockey, riding horses and dancing with the same unbuttoned energy she brought to the camera. Those youthful pursuits left visible traces in her pictures: not the posed ease of a practiced glamour model but a loose, kinetic presence that read well in both local pages and national layouts. She continued to work for the magazine and in related shoots for several years after the centerfold, maintaining a steady visibility rather than a single flash of attention.

Unexpectedly for a model whose early work read Midwestern and athletic, her résumé includes tiny but notable touches of genre filmmaking. Film credits supplied in contemporary notes list appearances in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan — small screen moments that connect her to two very different Hollywood universes and to the kind of background work where many magazine models found an entry into motion pictures.

That mix — a studio-photographed centerfold, regional pictorial roots and a handful of film appearances — gives her a quietly varied profile: not only the image captured for a flagship spread but a series of photographic and on-screen footnotes that trace a working model’s steady, pragmatic career through late-1970s popular culture.
