Christina Ferguson

Playboy Playmate of The Month for April 1983

Christina Ferguson Bio

Christina Ferguson is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on March 18, 1964, in Phoenix, Arizona. Playboy named her its April 1983 Playmate at 19. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.

Ferguson has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-22-33.

Her centerfold was shot by Arny Freytag, whose studio precision and mastery of light gave the images their slick, cinematic finish. The framing and polish of those portraits leaned on the same high-gloss portraiture that defined much of the decade’s magazine work, and Freytag’s eye turned Ferguson’s poses into photographs that read almost like stills from an unwritten film.

That cinematic quality was no accident: before the glossy pages arrived, her screen work included a turn in the underground cult picture "Film for Discussion," a small but memorable credit that placed her briefly in the avant‑garde fringe of independent cinema. The film gave an early glimpse of a presence that translated easily between moving and still images, and it explains why her photographic work often reads as performance rather than simple portraiture.

Ferguson never pursued the incessant publicity cycle that swallowed many contemporaries; she has been described as more elusive than some of her centerfold sisters, the sort whose appeal deepens with hindsight. That reserve has allowed individual images and a handful of screen moments to stand on their own, rather than being absorbed into a longer, noisier public record.

Seen together, the film credit and the Freytag pictures create a compact, distinctly visual career: a brief catalogue of striking images and a willingness to cross a small, stylistic divide between glossy glamour and low‑key experimental film. It’s a combination that keeps the work interesting well beyond its original newsstand moment.
