Tracy Vaccaro Bio
Tracy Vaccaro is an American model and actress, born on May 4, 1962, in Glendale, Arizona. She is known for her work as a Playboy and glamour model.
Vaccaro was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for October 1983. She was 21 years old when she appeared in the magazine.
Tracy Vaccaro is 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm) tall and has blond hair and gray eyes. Her published measurements are 35-24-35 inches (89-60-90 cm), and her profile lists her bust as natural.
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.
