Laura Richmond Bio
Laura Richmond is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on August 23, 1966, in Fort Dix, New Jersey, and has also been credited as Jessica Rabbit and Laura Richardson. Playboy named her its September 1988 Playmate at 22. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.
Richmond has natural breasts, green eyes and red hair. Her measurements are 36-24-34.
Her centerfold was shot by longtime Playboy photographer Richard Fegley, whose studio polish and eye for 1980s pin‑up composition gave the pictorial a textbook glamour that still reads like a decade piece. That credit places Richmond’s signature image squarely in the magazine’s commercial-studio tradition rather than in a throwaway newsstand spread.
A few months after her Playmate pictorial she surfaced on the November 1988 cover, styled as the animated siren Jessica Rabbit. The cover translated the character’s cartoon silhouette into glossy, human form and is the specific source of the occasional Jessica Rabbit association that surrounds her work; the Playmate featured inside that issue was Pia Reyes.
Richmond’s relationship with the brand extended beyond one centerfold. She appeared in several Playboy videos and special editions, and she later fronted the May 1991 Book of Lingerie special‑edition cover—a noted instance within that series and the first time a red‑haired model headlined that particular title, according to her published biography for the feature.
Taken together, these credits—studio centerfold, a themed pop‑culture cover and continued appearances in Playboy’s video and special‑edition slate—define a compact, visibly curated run within the magazine’s late‑1980s and early‑1990s publishing activity. Her images from that period remain part of the magazine’s archive of themed glamour shoots and branded productions.
