Patricia Farinelli Bio
Patricia Farinelli is an American adult model, and actress. She was born on March 18, 1960, in Los Angeles, California, and has also been credited as Patty Farinelli. Playboy named her its December 1981 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.
Farinelli has natural breasts, brown eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 36-25-36.
Her centerfold was shot by Ken Marcus, a photographer whose studio work in the era favored clean lighting and poised, sculptural poses. The images emphasize form and finish over coyness: a glossy, high-production presentation that played to the magazine’s 1980s aesthetic while giving the subject room to hold the frame rather than disappear into it.
For several years after the shoot she continued to appear at Playboy-related events, including Glamourcon gatherings and parties at the Mansion, where that polished centerfold remained the reference point for fans and collectors. Those public appearances kept her visible within the magazine’s social orbit without turning her into a constant magazine contributor.
She retired from modeling in 1984, closing a brief but clearly marked chapter in the early‑1980s pages of the glossy press. The result is a compact career: a single, carefully produced pictorial and a handful of public engagements that together capture a particular look and moment in Playboy’s glossy decade.
