Shana Hiatt Bio
Shana Hiatt is an American-born Model, TV presenter, actress, and poker player. She was born on December 17, 1975 in Tabernacle, New Jersey, United States. Her zodiac sign is Sagittarius.
The renowned Shana Hiatt graced as a featured Playboy Celebrity in April 1995.
Shana Hiatt has beautiful Natural breasts, soulful Brown eyes, and rich Brown hair. With a sensually shaped 34-24-35 frame, she's a true embodiment of Playboy allure.
Shana Hiatt brings a sunlit, pageant-polished glamour to the frame — the kind of beauty that feels made for beach light, glossy magazine paper, and the first rush of a camera finding its subject. Her presence has that unmistakable mid-nineties confidence: bright, athletic, playful, and just a little dangerous beneath the smile. She does not come across as merely posed. She feels alive in the image, as if the fantasy has caught her between motion and invitation.
Her appeal was shaped by the world of Hawaiian Tropic glamour, where confidence mattered as much as beauty and every look had to carry the heat of competition. After winning a local Hawaiian Tropic pageant at Touché nightclub in 1994, representing Beach Haven, New Jersey, Shana went on to become Miss Hawaiian Tropic USA in 1995. That title helped place her directly in Playboy’s orbit, where her beach-born allure translated naturally into a more iconic magazine moment.
As the cover model for Playboy’s April 1995 The Girls of Hawaiian Tropic issue, Shana Hiatt posed nude inside the magazine and became part of one of Playboy’s most sun-drenched glamour features. She also appeared on the cover of the related video release, Playboy: The Girls of Hawaiian Tropic, Naked in Paradise, extending that moment from the page to the screen. But Shana’s career did not stay fixed in one fantasy. She later moved into television, guest-hosting Wild On! for E! and appearing in projects including Must Love Dogs and Grandma’s Boy.
What made Shana especially memorable was the second act. Best known to many viewers as the host of the first three seasons of World Poker Tour on The Travel Channel, she brought glamour, ease, and quick camera instincts into a very different arena. She went on to host Poker After Dark and the National Heads-Up Poker Championship on NBC, becoming a recognizable face in televised poker even though she had not been a player before entering that world. In 2005, her wider pop-culture appeal was recognized when Maxim named her #76 on its Hot 100 list.
Shana Hiatt’s story has the shape of a true media-era crossover: pageant winner, Playboy cover model, television host, actress, and poker personality. She carried the sunlit confidence of Hawaiian Tropic into Playboy, then turned that same poise into mainstream screen presence. What remains is the image of a woman who knew how to move through different spotlights without losing her spark — polished, warm, camera-smart, and unmistakably memorable.
