Marianne Gravatte Bio 
Marianne Gravatte is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Marianne J. Gravatte on December 13, 1959, in Hollywood, California. Playboy named her its October 1982 Playmate at 22. She was later named Playmate of the Year 1983. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.
Gravatte has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-21-32.
The photograph that introduced Marianne Gravatte to a wide audience was made by Richard Fegley; its clean, direct composition and Gravatte’s poised ease quickly made the image one of the more talked-about centerfolds of its moment. The attention that followed translated into high-profile recognition from the magazine, including a six-figure cash award and a gold Datsun 280ZX — the sort of tangible prize package the 1980s reserved for its most visible faces.
Playboy remained a recurring platform for her work after that initial burst. She turned up in several of the magazine’s video releases and newsstand specials, and the magazine brought her back for a retrospective pictorial in August 1999’s “Playmates Revisited,” a nod to the staying power of that original image.
Outside the pages and tapes, Gravatte crossed briefly into mainstream pop culture and entertainment. She appears on the cover of the Scorpions’ 1984 album Love at First Sting, a placement that widened her exposure beyond typical modeling circuits, and she took a handful of small acting parts in television and film, credits that reflect a short-lived turn toward onscreen work rather than a wholesale career change.
Her public life after that period grew deliberately quieter. Marianne married shortly after her years in the magazine spotlight and stepped away from steady modeling to concentrate on family life, resurfacing only occasionally for nostalgic features and special appearances. Those intermittent returns kept the memory of the original centerfold alive without turning her later years into a nonstop public career.
