Carrie Stevens Bio
Carrie Stevens is an American Playboy model, glamour model, actress, writer, and producer. She was born on May 1, 1969, in Buffalo, New York, United States. Her zodiac sign is Taurus.
Carrie Stevens was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for June 1997, receiving the title at the age of 28. Her centerfold, photographed by Arny Freytag, introduced readers to a model whose path to Playboy was shaped by acting, personal resilience, and an unconventional life story.
Carrie Stevens is known for her classic brunette beauty. During her Playboy career, she was listed with blue eyes, brown hair, and measurements of 34-24-34.
Carrie spent part of her childhood in Memphis, Tennessee, after her parents divorced. Her father, a research scientist, named her after the Cary spectrophotometer, while her mother, an artist, encouraged her creative interests. As a teenager, Carrie became fascinated with Elvis Presley and frequently visited Graceland, dreaming of a career in the entertainment industry.
At eighteen, Carrie began a four-year relationship with Eric Carr, the drummer for the rock band KISS. She later described him as both a mentor and the love of her life. Carr died from a rare form of cancer in 1991, a loss that deeply affected her and became a defining chapter of her early adulthood. By the time she appeared in Playboy, she said she was finally ready to move forward and embrace a new stage in her life.
Before becoming a Playmate, Carrie established herself as an actress in Los Angeles. She appeared in the daytime drama Days of Our Lives, the television series Weird Science and Pauly, and starred in the Playboy TV feature Jane Street. She also performed on stage in the play Autumn Romance, receiving positive reviews for her theatrical work. Carrie credited a meditation practice known as rebirthing with helping her regain confidence and ultimately inspiring her to audition for Playboy.
In her Playboy interview, Carrie described herself as someone who valued spirituality, creativity, and meaningful relationships over celebrity or material success. She preferred poetry to parties, enjoyed reading Shakespeare, and believed that beauty should be matched by integrity and personal growth. Her Playmate Data Sheet reflected the same outlook, listing love, gratitude, humility, and fulfilling her spiritual purpose among her life’s ambitions.
Following her Playboy debut, Carrie appeared in numerous Playboy videos and newsstand special editions while continuing her acting career. Her television credits expanded to include Beverly Hills, 90210, Pacific Blue, Black Scorpion, Two and a Half Men, and Jake in Progress. She also appeared in the feature film Rock Star and the Third Eye Blind music video “Never Let You Go.”
Beyond acting and modeling, Carrie became a writer, producer, and entrepreneur. She founded the environmentally focused fashion publication Envi-Image, contributed columns to lifestyle magazines, and continued working in film and television while raising her son in Los Angeles.
More than two decades after her Playboy debut, Carrie Stevens remains one of the most recognizable Playmates of the late 1990s. Her career reflects a successful transition from glamour modeling to acting, publishing, and creative entrepreneurship, while her June 1997 centerfold continues to be the work for which she is best known.
