Morgan Maria Bio

Morgan Maria is an American Glamour, nude, and fitness model. Born Morgan Maria McGrew on July 21, 1990, in Miami, Florida, she has also been credited as Morgan McGrew. She appeared in an international edition of Playboy in July 2014 at 23. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.

Maria has enhanced breasts, brown eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 36-25-38.

Morgan Maria followed an unconventional path into modeling. Raised in a remarkably large family of nineteen, she left home to serve in the U.S. military before turning her attention to higher education. After completing her service, she earned a degree in psychology, adding another unexpected chapter to a life that would eventually lead her in front of the camera.

Modeling came later, and Maria found opportunities with the International Bikini Model Search as well as Playboy. She embraced the change of direction with a sense of humor, admitting that the attention surrounding her modeling work occasionally made her feel like a “mini celebrity.”

Her relationship with Playboy reached a milestone when she was selected as Miss July 2014 for Playboy Mexico. The appearance brought her into the magazine’s international family and marked a considerable departure from the military and academic environments that had shaped the earlier stages of her life.

Travel became another important part of Maria’s experience. Her modeling career took her around the world, while away from the camera she pursued a quieter creative interest: writing poetry. She described herself as someone who wanted to connect with her surroundings on physical, mental and emotional levels, summing up her outlook simply: “I’m passionate about living!”

Maria’s story stands out for the variety of experiences that preceded her Playboy appearance. Military service, a psychology degree, international travel, bikini modeling and poetry hardly form a conventional route into glamour photography. Yet together they provide the context for her July 2014 Playboy feature—a modeling milestone reached after a life already filled with dramatically different pursuits.
