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.
Wood’s centerfold arrived with a private provenance: the images were shot as a surprise birthday gift for her husband, Jeff, then a Coast Guard yeoman. That domestic framing gave the pictorial an unusually intimate tone—the decision to pose carried added personal weight because she and Jeff had married while she was still a virgin—so the work reads less like a career move than a carefully staged act of devotion.
Those sessions were brief but persistent in the magazine’s orbit. The shoot proved to be her only official session for the title; outtakes from her 1988–89 sittings surfaced in later Playboy specials, and she made short appearances in a couple of the brand’s home videos before withdrawing from public life. The limited footprint kept her presence in the archive compact but distinct.
What endures about Wood’s entry in the pages is its sincerity. Devoid of a prolonged publicity campaign or an extended run of covers, her centerfold has been remembered for its quiet, personal narrative—a reminder that sometimes the most resonant images in a glossy archive arrive with an ordinary, human story behind them.
