Justine Greiner Bio
Justine Greiner is an American glamour and nude model. She was born on November 19, 1963, in Boston, Massachusetts. Playboy named her its February 1984 Playmate at 20. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.
Greiner has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 36-25-35.
Originally scheduled for the November 1982 issue, Justine Greiner’s pictorial was delayed for fifteen months — a hiccup that only increased the anticipation surrounding her pages. When the feature finally ran, the spread introduced a model who combined a statuesque presence with a surprising frankness; she described herself wryly as “maybe an eight,” a self-assessment that undercut the usual glamour patter and made the pictures feel candid rather than contrived.
That candid streak carried into her public remarks about the experience. “Being a Playmate has made me more aware that I can be sexy,” she said, adding that posing nude taught her “you get to know your body better” and even suggesting that “every woman should pose nude at least once.” Those comments gave the pictorial a conversational tone uncommon in big‑budget magazine shoots, and they helped position Greiner as a performer comfortable speaking plainly about image, rather than polishing an unreachable ideal.
Greiner’s magazine presence was also notable for what it did not include: unlike many contemporaries, she did not go on to appear in Playboy-produced videos, a gap that left her print work as the clearest record of that brief moment in the spotlight. Off the page, she came from a creative household — her sister, Corinne Lee, is the poet and author of PYX, which won the 2004 National Poetry Series — a detail that reinforced how Greiner’s public persona mixed glamour with an unexpectedly literary family background.
Measured and candid, her pictorial reads today as a small, distinctive coda to the era’s polished aesthetic: not a reinvention, but a quietly personal statement that let the model’s own voice be heard as clearly as the photographs.
