Lynn Thomas Bio
Lynn Thomas is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Donna Lynn Evans on January 21, 1976, in Newport News, Virginia. Playboy named her its May 1997 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1990s print era, a period increasingly shaped by entertainment and celebrity culture.
Thomas has natural breasts, brown eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 34-25-35.
Lynn Thomas grew up in Virginia Beach in a family shaped by the Vietnam War. Her father was a U.S. serviceman who met her Vietnamese mother during the conflict, and after her parents divorced when Lynn was five, she and her older sister were raised by their mother, who worked as a manicurist. Thomas graduated from Kempsville High School in 1994 before turning her attention toward modeling.
Her Playboy appearance became the foundation for an extended career in glamour modeling. Thomas subsequently appeared in several Playboy videos and newsstand special editions, while also branching out to other publications and platforms. Her modeling credits eventually included Perfect 10, High Society and Danni’s Hard Drive, giving her a body of work that extended well beyond her original Playboy pictorial.
In October 2000, she crossed one of the traditional boundaries of men’s-magazine publishing when she appeared in Penthouse under the name Linn Thomas and was selected as Pet of the Month. This made her the first model to have held both Playboy Playmate and Penthouse Pet centerfold titles, a distinction later shared by other crossover models including Victoria Zdrok and Alexandria Karlsen.
Thomas also took her career onto the stage, touring North America as a feature dancer. Her professional interests extended beyond modeling and live appearances as well: she completed an accelerated college program and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with magna cum laude honors. That academic accomplishment added a markedly different dimension to a career otherwise centered on photography and entertainment.
From her Virginia Beach upbringing, Thomas built a career spanning Playboy, Penthouse, other glamour publications, online modeling and live performance while also completing a university degree. Her Penthouse appearance under the Linn Thomas name remains the most historically distinctive chapter of that trajectory, connecting two of the best-known magazine franchises in American glamour publishing through a career that began with Playboy.
