Lee Ann Michelle Bio
Lee Ann Michelle is a British actress, glamour and nude model. Born Carol Needham on March 17, 1960, in Surrey, United Kingdom, she has also been credited as Lee Michelle. Playboy named her its February 1979 Playmate at 18. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Michelle has natural breasts, green eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 35-23-35.
Lee Ann Michelle stepped into Playboy history as the first Playmate to have been born in the 1960s, adding a fresh-faced energy to the magazine's lineup of iconic beauties. Her centerfold-captured by the legendary Mario Casilli-showcased her delicate English features and classic blonde allure, cementing her as one of the most memorable international Playmates of the era.
She was no stranger to the spotlight before her Playboy debut. She launched her modeling career at 16 in The Sun's famed Page 3 on January 7, 1977, and soon became a favorite among British tabloids, also appearing in the Daily Mirror. Her striking beauty led to numerous pictorials in men's magazines, including Penthouse, where she continued to dazzle with her signature mix of innocence and sensuality.
Her beauty wasn't just limited to print-she also made an appearance in film, landing an uncredited role as Sybill in the 1979 action thriller "Seven." However, rather than chase Hollywood fame, Lee Ann found her passion behind the scenes. She eventually transitioned from model to mentor, co-founding "Needham and Hanson Management," a modeling agency dedicated to discovering and developing fresh talent.
From Page 3 to Playboy to shaping the next generation of models, Lee Ann Michelle remains an enduring figure of beauty and ambition. Her career may have started in front of the camera, but her influence continues to be felt far beyond it.
