Carol Shaya Bio

February 4, 1969 / Aquarius / Age 55

Carol Shaya is an Israeli-born actress, model, trainer, and former NYC police officer. She was born under the sign of Aquarius on February 4, 1969 in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Her birth name is Carol Jovana Shaya.

Carol Shaya captivated audiences as a featured model in the August 1996 edition of Playboy. Her measurements are 34-24-35. Carol Shaya has natural breasts, soulful brown eyes, and luminous blond hair.

Her journey took an unexpected turn when her employment was abruptly terminated upon her appearance in the August 1994 issue of Playboy magazine. In response to this life-altering event, Shaya took a bold step and filed a lawsuit against the department, seeking $10,000,000 in damages for wrongful dismissal and gender discrimination. In her legal claim, she pointed out that male officers who had appeared in explicit adult films, not just softcore pictorials, had faced only suspensions and not terminations, raising questions of fairness and equality.

While her lawsuit stirred both attention and controversy, it faced criticism from notable figures like Stanley Crouch, who voiced their opinions during an American Enterprise Institute speech. In the case titled "Shaya-Castro vs. New York City Police Department," the judgment ultimately ruled against her and was upheld on appeal, marking a significant chapter in her life.

Today, Carol Shaya resides in the vibrant heart of West Hollywood, California, where she has embraced a diverse array of roles as a Personal Trainer, Actress, and Model. Her presence in the entertainment world is further solidified by her membership in the prestigious Screen Actor's Guild, a testament to her enduring resilience and pursuit of her passions.
