Giuliana Marino Bio
Giuliana Marino is a German actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on May 13, 1986, in Nuremberg, Germany. Playboy named her its April 2007 Playmate at 20. Her appearance came in the 2000s, as Playboy's print tradition began to share space with an expanding online presence.
Marino has natural breasts, green eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 33-25-35.
Giuliana Marino established herself with Playboy in Germany before crossing into the magazine’s American edition. Her first major recognition came when she was selected for the German Playboy in April 2005, followed by the country’s Playmate of the Year honor in 2006. The distinction raised her profile within Playboy’s international network and ultimately brought her to the attention of Hugh Hefner during one of his visits to Munich.
Hefner’s meeting with Marino led directly to an invitation to Los Angeles and an opportunity with the American magazine. She accepted, signed a contract and traveled to the United States, becoming one of the relatively uncommon Playmates whose route to the American centerfold began in a foreign edition of Playboy. Her relationship with the magazine continued later that year when she appeared on the cover of the October 2007 issue.
Italian heritage remained important to Marino despite her upbringing in Germany. Both of her parents were Italian, Italian was spoken at home, and traditional Italian cooking was part of family life. Growing up in Nuremberg gave her fluency in German as well, creating a distinctly European background that suited the increasingly international character of Playboy during the period.
Law enforcement represented a serious alternative to modeling. Inspired by an uncle who worked as a police officer in Rome, Marino expressed plans to study criminal justice at a German police academy and hoped eventually to become a criminal profiler. The ambition was unusually specific and suggested that she was considering a profession requiring formal training rather than assuming her success as a model would determine her long-term career.
Marino remained in the United States after her American Playboy appearance and lived in Los Angeles. She also appeared as herself on several episodes of The Girls Next Door, the reality series centered on Hugh Hefner and life around the Playboy Mansion. By then, her Playboy record encompassed German and American editions, a national Playmate of the Year title, an American centerfold and an American Playboy cover.
