Tracy Vaccaro

Playboy Playmate of The Month for October 1983

Tracy Vaccaro Bio

Tracy Vaccaro is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on May 4, 1962, in Glendale, Arizona. Playboy named her its October 1983 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.

Vaccaro has natural breasts, gray eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 35-24-35.

Long before she ever stepped in front of Arny Freytag's camera or caught the eye of a nation, Tracy Vaccaro dreamed of dancing across the grandest stages as a ballerina. Born with grace and discipline, she trained for years - until a knee injury at sixteen redirected her ambitions from the ballet barre to the bright lights of Hollywood.

It was a twist of fate that gave Tracy her most notable movie moment: her stunning legs, not her face, famously stopped Burt Reynolds in his tracks in Blake Edwards' "The Man Who Loved Women". And while her identity may have been a mystery to moviegoers, Playboy readers got to see the whole dazzling picture when Tracy graced the October 1983 centerfold.

Before that issue hit the stands, Tracy was already finding love in the spotlight. She married actor and former L.A. Rams defensive end Fred Dryer - a romance sparked not on the field or on set, but at the Playboy Mansion. Though the marriage lasted five years, their friendship endured, and the couple co-parented their daughter and even worked together after the split.

By 1996, Tracy had found love again - this time with a former ballet dancer, a poetic full circle for the girl who once danced on pointe. Together, they built a family, adding two more children to the fold. From center stage to centerfold, Tracy Vaccaro remains a graceful presence who turned life's pivots into a beautiful dance.
