She is professionally known as Alison Armitage and used the name Brittany York during her work with Playboy. Her zodiac sign is Pisces.

Alison spent much of her childhood and adolescence in Hong Kong, where she lived for approximately twenty years. Of French, English, and German descent, she grew up in an international environment and became fluent in French. Athletic from an early age, she began competitive swimming at four and eventually qualified for the Hong Kong Olympic swimming team. However, she left competitive swimming during her teenage years as her interests gradually shifted toward education, modeling, and entertainment.

After completing her schooling in Hong Kong, Alison moved to California and studied computer science at the University of San Diego. Following graduation, she lived in Denver before relocating to Los Angeles, where she began pursuing opportunities as a professional model and actress.

Under the name Brittany York, she was selected as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for October 1990 at the age of 25. Her centerfold presented a sophisticated combination of athletic elegance, self-assurance, and natural sensuality. With her poised manner and confidently feminine appearance, Brittany represented a more mature and cosmopolitan style of Playboy glamour.

Her association with Playboy continued beyond her original Playmate pictorial. She appeared in numerous Playboy video productions, compilations, and promotional features, becoming one of the magazine’s recognizable faces of the early 1990s. She also modeled for publications such as Maxim, Razor, DT, and Bikini.

Her modeling career extended into commercial advertising. Alison appeared in television commercials and print campaigns for brands including Reebok, Budweiser, Miller, Carrabelle Swimwear, Vital Hair Care, and Michael Beaudry Jewelry. Her combination of athletic experience, polished beauty, and confident screen presence allowed her to work successfully across fashion, commercial modeling, and entertainment.

As an actress, Alison became best known for portraying Catherine “Cat” Avery Pascal in the action-adventure television series Acapulco H.E.A.T. She also played the recurring role of Ariel Glister in The New Adventures of Robin Hood and appeared in television series including Full House, Seinfeld, Silk Stalkings, L.A. Heat, Black Scorpion, and The Bold and the Beautiful.

Her film credits include appearances in Secret Games, Miracle Beach, Jerry Maguire, and Driven. Although many of her film roles were relatively small, her extensive television work established Alison Armitage as more than a Playboy model and gave her a lasting presence in 1990s popular entertainment.

Brittany York has beautiful natural breasts, soulful brown eyes, and rich brown hair. Her figure parameters are listed as 36-24-34, complementing her athletic yet voluptuous physique.
