Nichole Van Croft Bio
Nichole Van Croft was an American model and actress. She was born Nichole Joy Bland on November 5, 1973, in Jacksonville, Florida, and died on April 20, 2018.
Van Croft was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for October 2000. Her pictorial was photographed by Stephen Wayda, with the centerfold photographed by Arny Freytag. Playboy presented her feature around her Jacksonville background, her interest in natural skin care, and her ambition to build a career in music and beauty products.
According to her Playmate data sheet, Van Croft was listed at 5 ft 5 in and 115 lb, with measurements of 36DD-24-36. She had blond hair and brown eyes.
Before Playboy, Van Croft played several sports in high school, including volleyball, basketball, and football. In her Playboy interview, she said she later attended college in Arkansas, moved to Las Vegas, and then transferred to a school in Arizona.
After Playboy, Van Croft appeared in Playboy-related videos and special editions. IMDb lists her credits including Playboy: Playmates Unwrapped and Playboy Video Playmate Calendar 2002.
The Howard Stern claim should be used carefully. I would not include it in the main biography unless you have a primary source clip/transcript, because it is a specific personal claim and not necessary for the model profile.
