Nicole Wood Bio
Nicole Wood is an American model, actress, beauty entrepreneur, and former Playboy Bunny. She was born on February 4, 1970, in Canton, Ohio, United States. Her zodiac sign is Aquarius.
Nicole Wood was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for April 1993. She was 23 years old when the issue was published. Her centerfold and accompanying pictorial, titled “Knock Wood,” were photographed by Richard Fegley.
Her Playmate Data Sheet listed her measurements as 36C-23-34, with a height of 5 feet 6 inches and a weight of 108 pounds. She has blue eyes and blond hair.
Wood spent part of her youth in New Jersey and graduated from Cherokee High School in 1988. At the age of 15, despite wearing braces, she became a finalist in the Miss Teen New Jersey pageant. Her older sister Michelle, who had also worked as a model, supported her early participation in pageants and modeling.
Before her Playboy appearance, Wood competed in more than 70 swimsuit pageants. She earned the opportunity to attend a Playboy test shoot in Chicago after winning a centerfold competition. The resulting photographs led to her selection as the magazine’s April 1993 Playmate.
At the time of her Playboy profile, Wood was pursuing professional modeling and acting. She was also committed to fitness and followed a structured strength-training routine. Her stated ambitions included becoming a successful model and actress, investing her earnings, and eventually raising a family.
Wood later appeared in several Playboy videos and newsstand special editions. Her credits included Playboy Video Playmate Calendar 1994, Playboy: Wet & Wild VI, and other Playboy-branded productions. She also served as captain of the Playboy X-Treme sports team.
In 2001, Wood established Unique Face Cosmetics. By 2004, she was also working as a Playboy Bunny at promotional and public events.
Claims that she later opened a business called The Beauty Lounge could not be confirmed from sufficiently reliable sources, so that information has not been included as a verified part of her biography.
