Inga Drozdova

Playboy Playmate, Miss November 1997

Inga Drozdova Bio

Inga Drozdova is a Latvian Playboy model, glamour model, singer, and actress. She was born on December 14, 1975, in Riga, Latvia. Her zodiac sign is Sagittarius.

Inga Drozdova became Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for November 1997 at the age of 21. Her centerfold introduced American readers to one of the first major glamour stars to emerge from the post-Soviet era, reflecting Playboy’s growing international presence during the late 1990s.

Inga Drozdova is known for her blonde hair, blue eyes, and elegant appearance. During her modeling career, her measurements were listed as 36-24-36.

Before her American Playboy debut, Inga had already achieved celebrity status in Russia. She appeared in the Russian edition of Playboy, worked as a singer, and became a recognizable figure in television, music videos, and advertising. Fluent in English, she studied finance and business law at the Moscow Linguistic University while simultaneously building a successful modeling career. Her Playboy interview also notes that she later continued her studies at an Australian university between modeling assignments.

Her pictorial, photographed by Arny Freytag, emphasized both her Eastern European background and her international ambitions. The feature followed her through Moscow landmarks, recording studios, and everyday life, presenting her as a performer and entrepreneur rather than solely a glamour model. In the accompanying interview, Inga described her long-term goals as becoming a successful actress, singer, and businesswoman.

Following her selection as Playmate, Inga appeared in several Playboy video productions and additional Playboy special editions. She also continued recording music and pursuing acting opportunities, dividing her time between Europe, Russia, and the United States while expanding her international profile.

Outside modeling, Inga maintained interests in fitness, dancing, languages, and business. Her Playmate Data Sheet reflected the combination of artistic ambition and commercial awareness that characterized much of her early career, with aspirations extending well beyond modeling alone.

As one of the earliest internationally recognized Playmates from Latvia, Inga Drozdova represents Playboy’s expansion beyond North America during the 1990s. Her combination of modeling, music, education, and entrepreneurship helped establish her as one of the publication’s most distinctive international Playmates.
