Hope Marie Carlton Bio
Hope Marie Carlton is an American actress, glamour and nude model. Born Hope Marie Rizzitano on March 3, 1966, in Riverhead, New York, she has also been credited as Hope Carlton and Hope Levin. Playboy named her its July 1985 Playmate at 19. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.
Carlton has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 36-22-32.
At the time of her centerfold shoot, Carlton was working toward a pilot’s license, spending months of flight lessons alongside a busy schedule of shoots — a practical detail that complicated the glamour narrative and gave her a literal taste for getting off the ground.
Her association with Playboy extended beyond the magazine pages. She appeared in several of the publisher’s video releases and in numerous special-edition pictorials, solidifying a visibility in the franchise that complemented her wider modeling work rather than reducing it to a single appearance.
That visibility opened doors in low‑budget and genre filmmaking. Carlton turned up in Andy Sidaris’s action entries Hard Ticket to Hawaii and Savage Beach, played a role in the martial-arts thriller Bloodmatch, and made a brief, memorable appearance in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. Fans later found her in the cult computer-adventure Noctropolis, and toward the end of her screen career some credits were filed under the name Hope Levin.
Across pictorials, straight-to-video action and cult horror, and even an offbeat spot in interactive entertainment, Carlton built a career that moved easily between formats — a working performer who kept her options open long after the centerfold was published.
