Ava Fabian Bio
Ava Fabian is an American actress, glamour and nude model. Born Ava Margarita Fabian on April 4, 1962, in Brewster, New York, she has also been credited as Jacqueline Stone. Playboy named her its August 1986 Playmate at 24. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.
Fabian has natural breasts, hazel eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 36-24-34.
Her centerfold drew the eye of two of the era’s most practiced portraitists, Arny Freytag and Richard Fegley, who leaned into the still-photographic glamour that made magazine spreads feel like small cinematic tableaux. That Old World look in her features—she traces family roots to Greece and Italy—gave those images a classical counterpoint to the era’s slick lighting and polish, and it helped her slides off the page and into motion work.
Film and television began to absorb that camera-friendly quality. Fabian turned up in a string of Playboy video projects and special-edition releases before branching into softcore features and bit parts in mainstream fare; she is credited with screen work that ranges from brief Hollywood cameos to genre pieces aimed at the home-video market. The 1990s also brought television appearances on anthology-style, late-night erotic series, where her on-screen persona translated into recurring turns.
Outside performance, she translated visibility into commerce. In 1992 she opened a Los Angeles restaurant called Ava’s, a small storefront venture that the press described at the time as offering Mediterranean‑leaning fare to a Hollywood neighborhood. Collectors took notice as well: she was later selected as one of a handful of Playmates reproduced as a limited-edition Playboy Doll, a collectible object marketed to fans who wanted a permanent piece of the magazine’s iconography.
Later chapters kept her in the public eye. Fabian returned for nude shoots in Playboy’s Playmate Xtra series in 2010, reasserting the sort of editorial presence that first brought her attention. Her private life briefly became public news in 2011 when she filed and then privately settled a lawsuit involving guitarist Neal Schon; the legal action was resolved outside court. Across screen work, small-business effort and periodic returns to magazine pages, Fabian’s career followed the mixed map of late‑20th‑century glamour: image, commerce and occasional controversy woven together rather than separated.
