Monique Noel

Playboy Playmate of The Month for May 1989

Monique Noel Bio

Monique Noel is an American actress, glamour and nude model. Born Monique Noel Lovelace on April 28, 1967, in Salem, Oregon, she has also been credited as Monique de Lacy. Playboy named her its May 1989 Playmate at 22. Her appearance came during Playboy's polished, high-production 1980s period.

Noel has enhanced breasts, green eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 36-23-35.

Photographed by Richard Fegley, the pictorial that introduced Monique Noel to a national audience was staged with the kind of polish and quiet assurance that defined many late‑1980s Playboy shoots. The images favored mood as much as form, a composed sensuality that made the centerfold a memorable entry in the year’s lineup.

She relocated to Southern California at 18 and, after the magazine appearance, continued to work within Playboy’s production sphere, turning up in several of the brand’s video projects that extended her presence beyond the printed page. Those follow‑on appearances kept her visible to an audience that consumed Playboy as both magazine and moving image.

Noel also moved into screen work, collecting small but notable credits on both sides of the camera’s divide. Her film listings include Road House, Mobsters and Meatballs 4, and she guest‑starred on contemporary television series such as Blossom, Herman’s Head and Renegade, showing a willingness to trade still photography for the demands of scripted work.

Away from publicity she has been reported to follow Wiccan practices, a private spiritual thread that the record associates with her life off set. Seen together, the photographs, the videos, the bit parts on film and television, and that quieter private life make a compact career portrait: an image‑maker who explored several platforms available to a model of her moment, and who kept a few elements of herself deliberately out of frame.
