Arlene Baxter Bio
Arlene Baxter was an American glamour and fashion model, and photographer. She was born on November 27, 1962, in Oceanside, California. Playboy named her its December 1993 Playmate at 31. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1990s print era, a period increasingly shaped by entertainment and celebrity culture.
Baxter had natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-26-36.
Discovered at sixteen, Baxter translated a teenage start into a genuinely international apprenticeship. A nine‑month stint in Tokyo put her in front of cameras and down runways for commercial clients and television spots, the kind of market training that made her equally useful in fashion shoots and advertising.
Signing with Elite Model Management brought steady work across Germany, Italy and France and then a decade based in New York. Campaigns and catalog assignments for Victoria’s Secret, Saks Fifth Avenue and Avon showed a comfort with both lingerie and department‑store gloss; she recalled that top bookings could pay as much as $8,000 a day, a reminder that commercial modeling was often as lucrative as it was mobile.
The pictorial that accompanied her magazine feature was titled “Northwestern Exposure” and was photographed by Arny Freytag and Stephen Wayda. Though she initially hesitated about nude work, Baxter framed the decision as a matter of control over her image and said she settled into the experience once the shoots began.
Alongside plans to move into film and television, she extended her on‑camera resume into video, appearing in Playboy video productions including the Playmate Profile Video Collection. Returning to the West Coast, Baxter made Seattle her base for a time, living in an apartment with views across Elliott Bay to the Olympic Mountains—an unexpectedly domestic counterpoint to a career that had moved her across continents and formats.
