Cindy Brooks Bio
Cindy Brooks, born J. Cynthia Brooks, is an American glamour model and actress. She was born on November 5, 1951, in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and is also known as Cynthia Brooks.
Brooks was named Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for April 1985. She was 33 years old when her centerfold appeared, making her one of the magazine’s oldest Playmates at that time.
Cindy Brooks is 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) tall and has blond hair and blue eyes. Her published Playboy measurements were 34-23-34 inches (87-58-87 cm).
Some women shine in front of the camera - others shine through sheer spirit alone. Cindy Brooks does both. With the poise of a dancer, the grit of an athlete, and the heart of a survivor, Cindy made her unforgettable mark becoming the second-oldest Playmate to ever grace our pages at the time - and proving that true beauty is timeless.
Raised in the magic of Fantasyland - the storybook theme park her father built in Gettysburg - Cindy spent her summers weaving dreams for children before launching dreams of her own. By age ten, she was a member of the prestigious New York City Ballet, her elegance and determination already shining through.
A natural competitor, Cindy later became an accomplished polo player, balancing strength and grace with breathtaking ease. But her greatest victory came off the field: diagnosed with terminal cancer in 1996 and given two years to live, Cindy chose a different path. Refusing conventional treatments, she turned to alternative medicine - and just ten months later, she was cancer-free. Today, 29 years later, Cindy remains a powerful, living testament to courage, resilience, and the unbreakable human spirit.
The "J" in her name, honoring her beloved father John, stands as a reminder of the family roots and fierce determination that helped her rise, fall, fight - and ultimately triumph.
Cindy Brooks is a woman who didn't just live the fantasy - she created her own extraordinary reality.
