Linda Rhys Vaughn

Playboy Playmate, Miss April 1982

Linda Rhys Vaughn Bio

Linda Lou Vaughn, also known as Linda Vaughn, is an American model and actress. She was born on August 11, 1959, in Grossmont, California.

Vaughn was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for April 1982. She was 22 years old when she appeared in the magazine.

Linda Rhys Vaughn is 5 feet (153 cm) tall and has brown hair and blue eyes. Her published measurements are 34-23-35 inches (87-58-88 cm), and her profile lists her bust as natural.

Linda Rhys Vaughn always had the heart of a dreamer and the soul of a cowgirl. Raised in the wide-open spaces, with a father who was a true cowboy, she grew up riding horses, chasing adventure, and carrying herself with the kind of natural confidence that made her impossible to ignore. That star quality landed her in the pages of Playboy, with a stunning centerfold lensed by Pompeo Posar.

Her journey to Playboy was so captivating that it even inspired the 1984 TV movie "I Married a Centerfold", a nod to the charm, beauty, and ambition that made her one of the era's most unforgettable Playmates. But Linda was never just about the spotlight-she was also an accomplished equestrienne, a woman just as comfortable on horseback as she was in front of the camera.

These days, she's traded Hollywood for a more peaceful kind of paradise. Linda lives on a sprawling 15-acre ranch in Idaho with her husband, Walter Wiems, and their two children. Together, they run a drafting company, proving that while she once graced the glossy pages of Playboy, her greatest role is the one she plays in real life-wife, mother, and a woman who has truly lived life on her own terms.
