Kari Kennell Bio
Kari Kennell is an American model, actress, and interior designer. She was born Kari Kennell Whitman on June 21, 1964, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States. She has also worked professionally under the name Kari Whitman. Her zodiac sign is Gemini.
Kari Kennell was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for February 1988. She was 23 years old when the issue was published. Her selection as Miss February became an important milestone in her modeling career and brought her wider public recognition. She later appeared in additional Playboy publications and entertainment projects.
Her measurements were listed as 34-22-33. She has green eyes, brown hair, and natural breasts. These physical details were published in her Playboy profile and are associated with her appearance as Playmate of the Month.
Some women pose. Others perform. Kari Kennell does both - and then she takes it a step further. From the pages of Playboy to the bright lights of Hollywood and even the halls of Congress, this fiery blonde Playmate has proven she's not just a pretty face - she's a force of nature.
Kari brought her signature blend of girl-next-door charm and heat to centerfold stardom. A former high school cheerleader from Fairview High School's Class of '82, she started college at the University of Florida before trading textbooks for runways, signing with Elite Models, and launching a career that would be anything but ordinary.
On screen, Kari lit up Hollywood in cult favorites like "Beverly Hills Cop II", "Men at Work", and "The X-Files." But this blonde bombshell didn't stop at acting - she brought her eye for beauty and love of design into celebrity homes with her hit reality series Designer to the Stars: Kari Whitman, later renamed "The Kari Whitman Show" on WE tv. Each episode followed Kari as she transformed high-end spaces with flair, passion, and plenty of drama.
But Kari's boldest performances often happened far from the cameras. A committed animal rights activist, she's been one of PETA's most passionate voices. Who could forget the day she slipped into a lettuce-leaf bikini and joined fellow Playmate Lauren Anderson to protest Capitol Hill's annual Hot Dog Lunch in the summer of 2004? Instead of beef, they served up veggie dogs and plenty of media heat - proving once again that Kari never shies away from making a statement.
Kari Kennell is the perfect contradiction - soft curves and a steel will, Hollywood glam and activist grit, centerfold sex appeal and a mind for design. She's the kind of woman who doesn't just make headlines - she makes change. And that, dear readers, is Playboy power at its finest.
