Louann Fernald Bio
Louann Fernald is an American glamour model, and entrepreneur. She was born on October 23, 1957, in San Antonio, Texas. Playboy named her its June 1979 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Fernald has natural breasts, brown eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 35-23-34.
Discovered through Playboy’s 25th Anniversary Great Playmate Hunt, Louann Fernald stood out among thousands of hopefuls and was rewarded with a magazine centerfold shot by Dwight Hooker. The image paired the clean, studio-born clarity of late‑1970s pinup photography with a relaxed, camera-ready ease that helped frame her outside the usual local‑pageant arc.
Raised in Florida after an early life that began elsewhere, she grew up in a household stitched between missile‑systems work and orange groves—an odd but telling combination of technical discipline and agricultural routine. Studies at the University of Florida followed, giving her the nominal college background that appears quietly in later biographies.
After her time in the pages, Fernald moved into a sequence of conventional careers and family life: marriage, three children, and professional turns as a stockbroker, business owner and public‑relations consultant. She kept records beyond business cards too; in 1988 she ran the New York City Marathon in under four hours, a tidy ledger entry of endurance alongside her commercial work.
A further pivot came in 1996, when she enrolled in law school, adding another credentialed chapter to a public life that had begun with an unexpectedly high‑profile discovery. The throughline is practical: a model who translated exposure into a varied, credentialed career and a sizable list of personal milestones rather than a single, static identity.
