September 4, 1956 / Virgo / Age 68
Candy Loving is an American-born Playboy model, Playboy ambassador, and glamour model. She was born under the sign of Virgo on September 4, 1956 in Oswego, Kansas, United States. Her birth name is Candis Loewinger. She is also known in the industry as Candis Loving.
Candy Loving was Playboy Playmate of the Month for January 1979. She was awarded the prestigious title of Playboy Playmate at the age of 22. Her measurements are 37-24-34. Candy Loving has natural breasts, soulful brown eyes, and brown hair.
In 1979, Playboy celebrated its 25th anniversary with a nationwide search for the perfect Playmate-an extraordinary woman who could embody the beauty, charm, and sophistication that had defined the magazine for a quarter of a century. After an exhaustive yearlong search, outshining over 3,500 other hopefuls, one fresh-faced, radiant blonde from Oklahoma captured the hearts of readers everywhere: Candy Loving.
With her girl-next-door sweetness and classic bombshell curves, Candy was a vision of effortless glamour. At the time of her selection, she was a junior at the University of Oklahoma, balancing her studies in public relations while working in a dress shop and waitressing on the side. When she saw the Playboy ad searching for their anniversary Playmate, it was her then-husband who encouraged her to take a chance. The result? An unforgettable pictorial, captured by the legendary Dwight Hooker, that cemented her place in Playboy history.
Following her debut, Candy was swept into the fast-paced world of Playboy, traveling the globe as the magazine's ambassador. Whether she was appearing at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., hosting a men's fashion show, or signing posters for adoring fans at car shows, Candy embodied the Playboy lifestyle with grace and charm. The world couldn't get enough of her, and in 2001, she was voted the second-sexiest Playmate of the 1970s by Playboy readers-a testament to her lasting appeal.
But while the allure of Hollywood beckoned, Candy remained grounded. After a whirlwind year of modeling and promotional work, she realized that celebrity life wasn?t her true calling. By 1981, she returned to the University of Oklahoma, determined to finish her degree in journalism. Always one to follow her own path, she later pursued a Master of Arts in human relations, using her Playboy earnings to fund her education.
Now, Candy Loving remains an icon of Playboy's golden era-a woman who seamlessly blended small-town charm with international allure. She may have been Playboy's 25th Anniversary Playmate, but to fans, she will always be first in their hearts.
