Kelly Marie Monaco is an American-born Playboy model, adult model, actress and television personality. She was born on May 23, 1976 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Her zodiac sign is Gemini. She is also known as Kelly Monaco.
Kelly Marie Monaco made history as Playboy's Playmate of the Month in April 1997, earning the coveted title at the age of 20. Kelly Marie entered her twenties with fearless confidence and natural grace, embodying the vibrant energy of a new generation of glamour.
Kelly Marie Monaco has beautiful natural breasts, soulful brown eyes, and rich brown hair. With a voluptuous 34-21-32 frame, she's a true embodiment of Playboy allure.
Born and raised in a lively Italian Catholic household, Kelly was the youngest of five girls. The family later relocated to the peaceful Poconos, where Kelly's competitive streak emerged. She dominated the field in soccer, track, swimming, and softball, while also shining in speech, debate, and theater. For Kelly, every spotlight was a challenge to conquer - and conquer she did.
After debuting on television with a recurring role on Baywatch in 1997, Kelly made a smooth transition to the big screen with appearances in "BASEketball", "Idle Hands", and "Mumford". But it was daytime television that turned her into a household name. First with a dual role as Livvie and Tess on "Port Charles", and later as the fiery Samantha McCall on "General Hospital" - a role she's owned since 2003.
Not one to rest on her laurels, Kelly leapt into the national spotlight once more in 2005, winning Season 1 of "Dancing with the Stars". After a rough start, some daring moves, and one near-wardrobe malfunction that had America holding its breath, she waltzed her way to victory and straight into the pop culture hall of fame.
The world couldn't get enough. Kelly graced covers of Maxim, FHM, and many of Playboy's Special Editions. Maxim even crowned her the "Sexiest Cover Model of the Decade" in 2009 and gave her a well-deserved spot on their Hot 100 List.
That same year, she spiced things up in Las Vegas, starring as Bo Peep in the racy burlesque spectacle Peepshow at Planet Hollywood alongside fellow bombshell Mel B. Kelly brought her signature mix of innocence and edge to the stage, discovering her sensual side night after night to sold-out crowds.
Offstage, Monaco is an adrenaline junkie and an advocate. She's raced in extreme sports competitions, kayaked and biked through punishing terrain, and still finds time to volunteer for kids' charities and senior care programs. Fiercely loyal to her family - especially her beloved great-grandmother - Kelly lives in West Hollywood but remains grounded in her roots.
Kelly Monaco is more than a Playmate. She's a fighter, a flirt, a performer, and a pro. From Poconos tomboy to Playboy cover girl to television star, she's proved that beauty is only the beginning of the story. And for Kelly, the spotlight shows no signs of dimming.
