Amy Sue Cooper

Playboy Cybergirl of the Month, August 2004

Amy Sue Cooper Bio

Amy Sue Cooper is an American Glamour and nude model. She was born on March 4, 1983, in Lincoln, Nebraska, and has also been credited as Amy Cooper, Amy Rioux, Amy Sue, and Chase Alexander. Playboy featured her as Cybergirl of the Month in August 2004 at 21. She later received the Cybergirl of the Year title for 2005. The feature was part of Playboy's web-first model program.

Cooper has enhanced breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-27-37.

Amy Sue Cooper reached Playboy through a route that had little to do with the career she originally imagined. She attended college as a nursing student with the specific goal of becoming an anesthetist, then moved into modeling and made her Playboy debut in 2002 in the Girls of the Big Twelve pictorial. That early appearance came under the name “Chase Alexander,” giving her Playboy history an alias before the Cybergirl titles that followed.

Her relationship with the brand expanded steadily. Cooper became Cybergirl of the Week for April 12, 2004, then advanced to Cybergirl of the Month that August. Readers later voted her Cybergirl of the Year for 2005, completing the familiar Week-to-Month-to-Year progression. Playboy also featured her in various newsstand special editions, along with video shoots, giving her a presence across several parts of the company’s publishing and entertainment operation.

One of the more unusual episodes in Cooper’s Playboy career arrived outside modeling altogether. In 2006, she participated in a Trading Markets/Playboy stock-picking contest and finished ahead of all 9,771 Morningstar-rated mutual fund managers in the United States. It is the sort of fact that resists the usual glamour-profile treatment: a Playboy model outperforming thousands of professional fund managers is memorable precisely because it sits so far from the expected script.

Away from those assignments, Cooper’s interests leaned toward both books and physical activity. She enjoyed reading, playing tennis and running, whether in marathons or on a treadmill at the gym. Those details fit with the discipline suggested by her earlier nursing studies and later competitive interests, though her career ultimately developed in a very different direction from the medical path she had once planned.

Cooper’s Playboy record is strongest in its variety. She moved from a college-themed pictorial to Cybergirl honors, appeared in special editions and videos, and then turned up in a stock-picking competition with a result that eclipsed thousands of professional money managers. The modeling titles gave her visibility, but the finance contest supplied the detail that makes her Playboy story unusually hard to confuse with anyone else’s.
