February 11, 1969 / Aquarius / Age 56
Shannon Long {MODEL_WAS_IS} an Australian Playboy model, glamour and fashion model. She was born on February 11, 1969 in Gladstone, Australia. Shannon Long measurements are 36-21-32, she has natural breasts.
Shannon Long made history as Playboy's Playmate of the Month in October 1988, earning the coveted title at the age of 19. Shannon radiated a playful innocence wrapped in unmistakable sensuality-a rising star whose charm was impossible to ignore.
When Shannon Long stepped onto the Playboy stage, she didn't just pose - she broke boundaries. Shannon became the very first Australian to earn that title, making waves from Bondi to Beverly Hills with her signature blend of beachside charm and girl-next-door magnetism.
Shannon spent her early years bouncing along the Australian coast with her family before settling in the laid-back surf town of Ballina, New South Wales. By sixteen, she had moved to Sydney and launched her modeling career with a bang - appearing as Playmate of the Month in Playboy Australia's September 1985 issue. She instantly became a reader favorite, returning for encore pictorials in 1986, 1989, and again in 1992.
Her success down under caught the attention of Playboy's U.S. editors, and in 1988, Shannon made history as the first Aussie to grace the centerfold in the American edition. That same year, she represented her country in the Playboy International Pageant, dazzling audiences with her athletic figure, sun-kissed glow, and confident charisma. Her American success sparked a second Australian centerfold in December 1988 - an unprecedented honor - and ultimately led to her being named Australia's Playmate of the Year in 1989.
Shannon's international fame took her across the U.S. in the early '90s, where she toured promoting Australian beer and brought her irresistible accent and charm to fans worldwide. But beneath the glamour, Shannon had big plans of her own. By the mid-1990s, she returned to Australia, gracefully stepped away from full-time modeling, and began a new chapter as a computer specialist - proving beauty and brains are never mutually exclusive.
Today, Shannon Long stands as a trailblazer, not only for Australian models but for every woman who's ever dreamed of going global. With the ocean in her heart, confidence in her stride, and a centerfold legacy still admired decades later, Shannon redefined what it meant to be a Playboy Playmate - and made history while doing it.
