Laurie Wood Bio
Laurie Wood is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Laurie Jo Wood on June 23, 1967, in Orange, California. Playboy named her its March 1989 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.
Wood has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 37-24-36.
In Playboy's March 1989 issue, Laurie Jo Wood stepped into the spotlight - not for fame, not for fortune, but for love. Her centerfold was unlike any other, a deeply personal and passionate gesture, photographed as a surprise birthday gift for her husband, Jeff, a former Coast Guard yeoman. That intimate motivation gave her pictorial a unique sincerity, a blend of vulnerability and affection that instantly resonated with readers.
With girl-next-door beauty and a natural sense of charm, she never saw herself as a model - until love inspired her to do something bold. According to her Playboy profile, Laurie was still a virgin when she married Jeff, making her decision to pose nude all the more daring, and all the more meaningful.
Her appearance as Playmate of the Month marked her only official shoot with the magazine, but the impact lasted far beyond the March issue. Outtakes from her 1988 - 89 sessions appeared in subsequent Playboy specials, and she was briefly featured in a couple of Playboy home videos before stepping gracefully out of the public eye.
Laurie Wood's legacy isn't measured by multiple covers or video appearances - it's defined by authenticity. She posed not to chase the spotlight, but to celebrate love. And in doing so, she gave Playboy one of its most touching, unforgettable centerfolds.
