Kitana Baker Bio
Kitana Baker is an American Actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Christi Michell Josenhans on July 15, 1977, in Anaheim, California. She appeared in Playboy in February 2001 at 23, adding the feature to her public career. Her appearance came in the 2000s, as Playboy's print tradition began to share space with an expanding online presence.
Baker has enhanced breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-26-37.
Kitana Baker entered entertainment through live performance, working as a showgirl before expanding into glamour modeling, advertising, television, and film. Her confidence before an audience brought early recognition, including local and national showgirl titles. That combination of theatrical energy and camera-ready poise made her a natural fit for the lively men’s-magazine culture of the early 2000s.
Her association with Playboy developed across several of the company’s platforms. Baker appeared in special editions including “Playboy’s College Girls,” “Playboy’s Wet & Wild,” and “Playboy’s Book of Lingerie,” as well as Playboy calendars and television programming. She was ultimately named Playboy’s 2003 Lingerie Model of the Year, recognition that reflected both her popularity with readers and her versatility across photography, video, and promotional appearances.
Mainstream fame arrived through Miller Lite’s provocative “Catfight” advertising campaign. Cast opposite Tanya Ballinger, Baker played the brunette in a deliberately exaggerated argument over whether the beer “tastes great” or is “less filling.” The dispute developed into an elaborate fantasy sequence that quickly became one of the most discussed commercials of its era. Its Super Bowl exposure transformed both women into instantly recognizable advertising personalities.
Baker and Ballinger later carried their rivalry into professional wrestling, appearing at WWE’s WrestleMania XIX alongside Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler in a playful Fatal Four-Way Pillow Fight. Baker also appeared in music videos, including Blink-182’s “The Rock Show,” and took small roles in films such as “The Scorpion King,” “Auto Focus,” “Intolerable Cruelty,” and “Slammed.” These projects allowed her to extend the mischievous, high-energy persona established by her modeling and commercial work.
Kitana Baker’s career belongs unmistakably to the exuberant pop culture of the early 2000s, when Playboy models could move easily between magazine pictorials, beer commercials, music videos, wrestling spectacles, and Hollywood cameos. Her 2003 Playboy title confirmed her success within glamour publishing, but the Miller Lite campaign gave her a broader cultural footprint. She turned a brief advertising fantasy into a memorable public persona—playful, theatrical, and perfectly suited to an era that celebrated entertainment without restraint.
