Kym Malin

Playboy Playmate of The Month for May 1982

Kym Malin Bio

Kym Malin is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Kimberly Ann Malin on July 31, 1962, in Dallas, Texas. Playboy named her its May 1982 Playmate at 19. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.

Malin has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 36-20-34.

A local beauty-pageant crown — billed, a touch cheekily, as "The Most Perfect Body in Texas" — announced Kimberly Malin as a professional presence long before mass publicity arrived. That early notice translated into a polished centerfold captured by Pompeo Posar, an image that framed the beginning of her public life with the era’s high-production glamour.

She carried that photographic momentum into a string of small-screen and film turns through the 1980s and into the early ’90s. Credits on her résumé range from the broad-strokes comedy of Joysticks to a femme-fatale turn in Picasso Trigger, with a memorable bit in Weird Science that had her tossed into one of the picture’s looser, stunt-driven sequences. Alongside those genre pieces she accumulated brief appearances in higher-profile studio pictures, a pattern common to performers navigating the crossover between glamour work and mainstream commercial film.

After years on set and in front of cameras, Malin made a deliberate retreat from the industry’s circuits. She returned to Texas for community-college studies, later relocating north to upstate New York, where she moved into a decidedly different professional register managing a pediatrician’s office — a practical, behind-the-scenes role far removed from centerfold shoots and film locations.

That arc — from pageant winner and glossy centerfold to small-screen character work and ultimately to a quiet, service-oriented postscript — resists simple categorization. It is, in its way, a tidy reminder that the late‑twentieth‑century glamour circuit produced many practical chapters, and that a public image can sit beside an ordinary, workaday life without contradiction.
