Sandy Greenberg Bio
Sandy Greenberg, born Sondra Elizabeth Greenberg, is an American model, actress, photographer, and designer. She was born on July 22, 1958, in Spokane, Washington, and has also been credited as Sondra Greenberg and Sonora Greenberg.
Greenberg was named Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for June 1987. She was 28 years old when her pictorial appeared in the magazine.
Sandy Greenberg is 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) tall and has blond hair and blue eyes. Her published Playboy measurements were 35-21-33 inches (89-53-84 cm).
A true original with a flair for performance and a love of speed, Sandy Greenberg brought brains, beauty, and boldness to everything she did - from her time as Miss June 1987 to her work as a set designer, body model, and motorcycle icon. With an academic background in art, theater, and mass communications, Sandy fused creative talent with an edgy on-screen presence, making her one of Playboy's most dynamic and versatile Playmates of the 1980s.
Before her centerfold debut, Sandy turned heads in the January 1987 issue of Playboy with her unforgettable performance as "Maxine Legroom", a futuristic, high-energy parody of the cult TV character Max Headroom. The funky, chrome-lipped alter ego became a fan favorite and led to dance videos and comedy spots on the Playboy Channel. To transform into Maxine, Sandy endured eight hours in makeup - a testament to her dedication to character and craft.
When her centerfold hit that June, readers were already familiar with the magnetic brunette from St. Louis, Missouri. At the time of her pictorial, she was living in St. Louis and had recently gone through a divorce, prompting a bold relocation to Los Angeles to chase new creative opportunities. In L.A., Sandy quickly became a staple of the Playboy universe, appearing in multiple videos and newsstand special editions, while also carving out a career behind the scenes.
Sandy's creative drive extended well beyond the camera. She worked as a set designer on independent projects, Playboy Video Productions, and even theme park attractions, showcasing her skills in visual storytelling. She also served as costume designer for the comedy short "Meet the Pitts" and contributed set design to the film "Far Out Man".
On screen, Sandy dabbled in acting with memorable roles in two films: a small part as a stripper in the thriller "Visions" and a lead role as a tough-talking cop in the action flick "Fatal Revenge". Her background in theater and communications gave her the tools to stand out, even in the fast-paced world of low-budget film.
Yet it was her love of motorcycles that added another layer to her vibrant persona. An avid rider, Sandy became the official spokeswoman for BMW Motorcycles, gracing posters and live events while representing the brand's iconic two-wheelers with flair. Her image became synonymous with both beauty and independence - a perfect blend of style and substance. One of her images, the striking "Zebra" photo, even earned prestige in the art world, becoming a limited-edition fine art print sold by Soho Gallery in New York for over $2,000 framed.
Later in her career, Sandy shifted her creative focus behind the lens, turning her artistic eye to black-and-white photography. Her personal collection was exhibited in the spring of 1989, adding photographer to her long list of talents.
From Playboy Playmate to Maxine Legroom, from motorcycle muse to set designer and artist, Sandy Greenberg has lived a life full of reinvention, expression, and fearless individuality. Her legacy is one of creativity, charisma, and a refusal to be defined by a single spotlight.
