Monica Leigh Bio 
Monica Leigh is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on December 19, 1981, in Long Island, New York, and has also been credited as Monica Leigh Burkhardt. Playboy named her its March 2006 Playmate at 24. Her appearance came in the 2000s, as Playboy's print tradition began to share space with an expanding online presence.
Leigh has enhanced breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 36-24-36.
Monica Leigh came to Playboy after working in jobs far removed from professional modeling. She spent time as both a bartender and a dental assistant before childhood friend and fellow Playmate Courtney Culkin encouraged her to pursue opportunities with the magazine. That introduction helped turn what had been an outside possibility into a sustained run across several Playboy formats.
Her earliest Playboy work appeared in newsstand special editions, where she developed enough visibility to earn the cover of Playboy’s College Girls in September 2005. The Cyber Club then became an important part of her progression. Leigh was selected as Cyber Girl of the Week for August 29, 2005, followed by Cyber Girl of the Month for December 2005.
That digital success continued when Leigh was named Cyber Girl of the Year for 2005. The distinction placed her among the models who moved particularly effectively between Playboy’s online and print platforms during the mid-2000s. Her rise through the Cyber Club was followed by selection for the magazine itself, creating a relatively compact sequence from special-edition modeling to weekly, monthly and annual Cyber Girl honors and then to a centerfold.
Playboy continued to feature Leigh after her centerfold. She appeared on the cover of the August 2006 issue and took part in several Playboy video productions. Television added another outlet through appearances on The Girls Next Door, where she appeared within the reality-show environment surrounding Hugh Hefner, the Playboy Mansion and the magazine’s models during that period.
Leigh later relocated to New York, but her Playboy record remained unusually concentrated within a short span of time. Between 2005 and 2006 she accumulated special-edition work, a College Girls cover, Cyber Girl of the Week, Cyber Girl of the Month, Cyber Girl of the Year, a Playmate centerfold, an additional magazine cover and television appearances.
