Rachel Jean Marteen Bio
Rachel Jean Marteen is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on January 31, 1970, in Atlanta, Georgia. Playboy named her its August 1995 Playmate at 25. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1990s print era, a period increasingly shaped by entertainment and celebrity culture.
Marteen has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-24-35.
Raised the youngest of three daughters on a farm outside Cartersville, Rachel Jean Marteen carried a small-town upbringing—conservative Baptist churches, early chores and pageant rehearsals—into an unexpectedly public life. A local crown, the Ms. White County title she won in 1983, was less a finish line than the first tidy proof that she belonged in front of an audience.
College and work came first. To pay tuition she kept an eight-to-four job and taught aerobics on the side, carving out weekends for shoots and building a portfolio between classes. Those fitness years left a trace: a demanding regimen she nicknamed her “Kick Butt” workout and plans that at one point included a workout tape and studies in physical therapy rather than modeling as an end in itself.
Her move into glamour arrived as a mixture of luck and a good picture. An Atlanta photographer submitted a portfolio to Playboy; he didn’t get the assignment, but one image of Marteen did. Editors asked for a test shoot and that session became her centerfold. She stayed visible to the brand for roughly three years afterward, appearing in a string of videos and newsstand Special Editions, including Playboy Video Playmate Calendar 1997, Playboy: Naturals and Playboy Wet & Wild VIII: Bottoms Up.
Camera work led naturally to small roles. She appears in the cast list for Star of Jaipur and is credited as Rachel Marteen in Never Again (2001), where she played Carrie. The arc is straightforward: Southern roots, a disciplined approach to fitness, and a brief but steady run through the pages, videotapes and modest screen parts that followed her discovery—an unlikely career stitched together by timing, tenacity and a single photograph.
