Connie Brighton

Playboy Playmate, Miss September 1982

Connie Brighton Bio

Connie Brighton is an American model, singer, and actress. She was born on May 14, 1959, in Wichita Falls, Texas, and is also known as Connie Brighton-Spero.

Brighton was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for September 1982. She was 23 years old when she appeared in the magazine.

Connie Brighton is 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) tall and has blond hair and blue eyes. Her published measurements are 35-22-35 inches (88-55-90 cm), and her profile lists her bust as natural.

Connie Brighton was born to perform. Growing up in the sunny streets of Coral Gables, Florida, she was dancing by age three, a trained professional by six, and dazzling hotel audiences on Miami Beach before she was even out of elementary school. That natural showmanship and effortless charm made her a perfect fit for Playboy. Photographer Richard Fegley captured her in all her golden-haired, high-energy glory.

But Connie wasn't just another pretty face-she had a voice to match. At the time of her Playboy pictorial, she was also chasing a singing career, even recording a sultry cover of the 1960s hit "Any Way That You Want Me." Show business was in her blood, leading her to a small role in "Smokey and the Bandit Part 3" and several appearances in Playboy videos.

Her ambition extended beyond the stage and camera-Connie later married promoter Ian Spero and became vice president of Spero International, a company specializing in entertainment and modeling promotions. Though the spotlight eventually faded, her sense of drive never did. Connie Brighton will always have the spirit of a true Playmate-radiant, confident, and unforgettable.
