Patty Duffek Bio
Patty Duffek is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Patricia Marie Duffek on August 27, 1963, in Woodland Hills, California. Playboy named her its May 1984 Playmate at 20. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.
Duffek has natural breasts, blue eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 36-23-32.
Working behind the counter at a Pioneer Chicken in Phoenix, Duffek caught the right eye at the right moment: Playboy discovered her during its Great 30th Anniversary Playmate Search, a serendipitous scouting that moved her from fast food to glossy pages and special-edition work. Her easy, approachable look translated cleanly to the camera, and she returned several times to the brand’s supplemental publications and a companion video that kept her familiar to readers beyond the centerfold.
Those pages led, predictably for the era, to a stretch of genre filmmaking. Duffek turned up in a trio of sun‑soaked Andy Sidaris action pictures, playing a federal agent nicknamed “Pattycakes” in Hard Ticket to Hawaii, Picasso Trigger and Savage Beach — the sort of tongue‑in‑cheek, stunt‑forward fare that packaged glamour and pulp for the video market.
After the late‑’80s and ’90s spotlight, she pursued a strikingly different course. Returning to school, she finished her studies Magna Cum Laude and moved into social work in Phoenix, applying a quieter, civic-minded focus to her professional life. She also experimented with commerce in the late 1990s, launching an online cigar shop called Patty Puffs and briefly promoting it with a set of nude photographs that were her first since the magazine era; the venture ultimately closed.
Duffek has never disappeared from fan circuits, making periodic appearances at shows such as Glamourcon that reconnect her with the community that first noticed her. The through line of her public life is plain: a model and onscreen presence who later retooled into scholarship, service and small‑business experiments, returning at intervals to the scene that launched her.
