Divini Rae

Playboy Playmate of The Month for November 2003

Divini Rae Bio

Divini Rae is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Divini Rae Sorenson on July 31, 1977, in Anchorage, Alaska. Playboy named her its November 2003 Playmate at 26. Her appearance came in the 2000s, as Playboy's print tradition began to share space with an expanding online presence.

Rae has enhanced breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 36-24-36.

Rae’s childhood was far removed from the usual modeling narrative. She grew up in Tanana, Alaska, a remote village accessible only by plane, in a log cabin without electricity or running water. Her family lived largely off the land, relying on hunted meat, gathered berries and vegetables from a summer garden. An able student, she graduated from high school a year early, received academic scholarships and went on to study psychology and journalism for three years.

Australia changed the direction of her life. After relocating to Sydney, Rae was discovered by a photographer and began working in swimsuit and lingerie modeling. Commercials and guest appearances on local television followed, but she was building something of her own at the same time: SWAY, short for Sydney Will Amaze You, an arts and entertainment magazine she founded and published. In an unusual pre-Playboy connection, Rae interviewed Hugh Hefner for the magazine before appearing in Playboy herself.

Her relationship with Playboy extended well beyond the original pictorial. Rae traveled internationally on the magazine’s behalf, speaking at press conferences and hosting events. The work added another dimension to a career already split between modeling, publishing and television, and placed her in a public-facing role rather than limiting her involvement to photographic appearances.

Later, Rae turned much of her attention toward health and fitness. She wrote about nutrition, produced workout videos and used DiviniRae.com as a platform for both subjects. That direction had an obvious connection to the self-sufficient environment in which she was raised: her own description of growing up without modern conveniences became part of the perspective she brought to contemporary ideas about health, exercise and everyday resilience.

Rae has also devoted time to fundraising and charitable work, including support for Save the Children and the Infant Crisis Center of Oklahoma City, while balancing those efforts with motherhood. From a tiny Alaskan village to Sydney publishing, international modeling and fitness media, hers is a career defined less by one profession than by repeated shifts in setting and responsibility. The survival skills of her childhood ultimately became more than an anecdote; they remained a recognizable thread through the very different life she built afterward.
