Kimberly Donley Bio 
Kimberly Donley is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on December 15, 1965, in Aurora, Illinois. Playboy named her its March 1993 Playmate at 27. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1990s print era, a period increasingly shaped by entertainment and celebrity culture.
Donley has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-24-34.
Donley’s most memorable Playboy moment carried a precise conceit: the centerfold, titled “En Garde!,” was shot by Arny Freytag and Stephen Wayda and staged around the slashing geometry of the fencing piste. The concept lent the pictorial an athletic, theatrical edge—less pinup pose than choreographed encounter—an approach that set her work apart from routine glamour spreads of the period.
Fencing was more than a prop. Donley trained with a Los Angeles coach for the shoot and spoke about the sport in practical terms, emphasizing balance and positioning over brute force. That preparation shows on the page: the images favor posture, line and controlled motion, and they quietly acknowledge an athletic competence that many pictorials merely suggest.
Her path to the camera was not the predictable modeling-through-agency route. A former Miss Montgomery contestant in the Miss Illinois pageant, she had completed training in computer science and initially intended a career in the insurance business before deciding it was not for her after attending a product-liability seminar. At the time of her Playboy profile she divided her time between Phoenix, Arizona, and Los Angeles, and she credited charm-school lessons with giving her the presentation skills that smoothed the transition into modeling and acting despite having little professional experience beforehand.
After the centerfold, Donley remained visible in the Playmate orbit: she appeared on the October 1993 cover and was featured in several Playboy video releases, including the Playmate Calendar 1994 and later profile collections. Outside the shoots, her listed interests ranged from antiques and classic James Stewart films to travel, animals and volunteer work with children—details that, together with her athletic training and technical studies, suggest a mix of disciplines and tastes not often foregrounded in glossy magazine pages. The result is a short but textured career image: a pictorial built on a specific idea, backed by preparation, and followed by steady participation in the magazine’s ancillary media.
