Miriam Gonzalez

Playboy Playmate of The Month for March 2001

Miriam Gonzalez Bio Editors Choice

Miriam Gonzalez is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on July 8, 1977, in New York City, New York, and has also been credited as Miriam Gonzales. Playboy named her its March 2001 Playmate at 23. Her appearance came in the 2000s, as Playboy's print tradition began to share space with an expanding online presence.

Gonzalez has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 37-25-35.

Miriam Gonzalez had already built a substantial Playboy portfolio before receiving her centerfold. She appeared in numerous Playboy Special Editions, making her one of the models—along with Brooke Richards—whose Special Editions work preceded her selection as a Playmate. Those earlier pictorials became a particularly recognizable part of her Playboy catalog, often relying on close portraits and comparatively natural-looking photography.

Her centerfold therefore did not introduce Gonzalez to Playboy readers so much as move an already familiar model into the magazine’s most prominent recurring feature. She continued working with Playboy afterward, appearing in videos including Lascivious Latin Ladies and returning repeatedly to the company’s Special Editions. Rather than disappearing after one issue, she maintained a visible relationship with the brand for several years.

Gonzalez also carried her modeling work beyond Playboy. In 2003 and 2004, she posed for pinup-oriented websites including Pin Up Glam and PinupFiles, working in a style that drew on classic glamour photography rather than abandoning the kind of imagery for which readers already knew her. In February 2013, she returned to PinupFiles, giving that association an unusually long span.

Radio provided a different showcase. During 2005 and 2006, Gonzalez co-hosted The Playmate Hour on Playboy Radio, then broadcast on Sirius Satellite Radio. The assignment shifted the emphasis from photographs to conversation and personality, allowing her to participate in the Playboy brand through a medium in which listeners knew her by voice rather than by pictorial.

Gonzalez was also unusually candid about the physical realities behind glamour modeling. In the April/May 2005 issue of Playboy Special Editions, she discussed considering breast-reduction surgery because of back pain; the available account also states that she had never had breast implants. That detail, together with her years of Special Editions, pinup work, Playboy video appearances and radio hosting, gives a much more specific picture of her career than the centerfold alone: she remained active across several corners of Playboy and pinup culture for more than a decade.
