Kimberly Spicer Bio
Kimberly Spicer is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Kimberly Alice Spicer on January 17, 1980, in Detroit, Michigan. Playboy named her its June 1999 Playmate at 19. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1990s print era, a period increasingly shaped by entertainment and celebrity culture.
Spicer has natural breasts, brown eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 36-24-34.
Kimberly Spicer had wanted to become a Playboy Playmate since she was fifteen, with Cindy Crawford providing much of her early inspiration to pursue modeling. Before Playboy, she attended modeling school and supported herself with restaurant work, including a job at an Italian restaurant in Fairlane Towne Center Mall and night shifts as a Hooters waitress in Taylor, Michigan.
A swimsuit competition provided the opening she needed. Spicer won the 1998 Miss Michigan Hawaiian Tropic pageant, and that success helped her secure an audition with Playboy. At nineteen, she became the first Playmate born in the 1980s, giving her centerfold a small but distinctive place in the magazine’s history as Playboy entered the final year of the twentieth century.
Spicer continued working with Playboy after her centerfold, appearing in several videos and posing for a number of newsstand special editions. Modeling had been an ambition rather than an accidental career choice for her, and she specifically credited Crawford with showing her the possibilities of combining mainstream fashion modeling with a Playboy appearance.
Her background reflected influences from both sides of her family. Spicer described herself as the product of a Mexican mother and a father from Tennessee, mixed with “strong opinions and a passion for dancing.” Family also figured prominently in the way she discussed relationships and personal values. She emphasized appreciation for her friends and relatives and judged potential partners partly by the respect they showed their own families.
Spicer’s path to Playboy was relatively direct: an early fascination with modeling led to modeling school, service-industry jobs, the Hawaiian Tropic competition and ultimately the audition she had hoped for since her teens. Her distinction as Playboy’s first Playmate born in the 1980s placed her at a generational turning point for the magazine, while her subsequent videos and special editions extended an association that had begun as a teenage ambition.
