Anna Clark Bio
Anna Clark is an American glamour and nude model. She was born on October 19, 1966, in San Francisco, California. Playboy named her its April 1987 Playmate at 20. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.
Clark has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 32-23-34.
Her video centerfold—shot on location in Australia—remains the clearest shorthand for Anna Clark’s particular brand of glamour: sunlit, slightly mischievous and willing to take the camera somewhere unexpected. The on-camera dives amid the coral of the Great Barrier Reef gave the pictorial a travelogue quality uncommon in the era’s studio-driven spreads, pairing a beach-ready ease with one of the world’s most cinematic natural settings.
The rest of her backstory reads like an origin for that appetite for the outdoors and a certain rule-bending. Raised with a younger brother, she was expelled from three Catholic boarding schools, a string of youthful restlessness that prefaced an 18-year-old’s two-month solo trip across Europe—an early, unmistakable taste for going it alone and seeing what turned up.
Practicalities and performance went hand in hand. Clark studied business at San Diego University while waitressing nights, and she took to leg and bikini contests at local nightclubs both to earn money and to build the kind of stage confidence that photographers notice. Those club appearances rounded out the image viewers would later recognize in print and on tape: part girl-next-door nightlife presence, part travel-ready swimsuit model.
After the centerfold she returned to the Playboy fold in video work and across various newsstand special editions, and her pictorials were reissued in 2008 and 2009—small proof that the combination of on-location spectacle and a playful, live-wire persona could outlast any single issue. Seen now, those images read less like a moment and more like a neat, self-contained chapter of 1980s glamour: sun, sea and someone who clearly enjoyed both.
