At 10
1/2 pounds and one month late I was born on January 21, 1961 in
Omaha, Nebraska during a middle of blizzard! I am German, French,
Welsh and American Indian (Iroquios). My Great-Great Grandmother
was a full blooded American Iroquio Indian and I am proud to be
from original American ancestry. I was a successful athlete as a
youth; I was an Olympic protégé swimmer in the 50-meter
butterfly, 400-meter individual medley and the 400-meter relay.
I was an AAU state Champion for two years in a row in Iowa, and
a member of the Junior Olympic Team. For many years, I had my own
free swimming clinic for inner-city children ages 2 through 16,
also teaching Water safety Instruction, C.P.R. and junior and senior
lifesaving. After breaking both my knees when Iwas 15, I turned
to my second love tennis, which I played in high school and college
and still play pro-am and celebrity tournaments. A few years later,
I picked up running as a way to calm my stress and asthma in Los
Angeles. Within six months, I ran my first marathon. Since March
1994, I have completed 15 marathons. My best time to date being
3 hours and 20 minutes. I have completed a five-Kilometer race in
19 minutes and 10 seconds , and am still pushing to better my times.
An avid skier since the age of four, I have conquered the European
Alps, Canada's Whistler and all of North America's mountain ranges.
The
spotlight began to shine on me when I was approached by Playboy
to do a pictorial while pursuing my degrees in Biology and Psychology
at Indiana University. Having already done some modeling in college
I carefully considered Playboy's offer, deciding that the venture
would be beneficial for both parties. Following graduation, I moved
to Europe where I lived in Monte Carlo, London and Sweden. Once
in Europe,I worked as a model and actress, appearing in several
films made in Italy and Japan.
Finishing
my work in Europe, I returned to the states after four years, arriving
in New york and after starring in "Posed for Murder" and
"Frankenhooker" and several commercials I headed for Los
Angeles in 1990. Making Los Angeles my home, I formed my own company,
International Sponsors Limited, specializing in corporate event
sponsorship.
Now
as president and owner of "CHK Productions, Inc." I am
working to dispel the myth that "Playboy Playmates" are
simply just pretty faces and bodies. After being the first Playmate
ever to receive a license from playboy, I founded the "Playboy
Running Team" in 1994. The team consisted of ten Playmates,
unified through their passion for fitness, the outdoors and running
marathons. Coined, "Playmates with a Purpose", the Playboy
Running Team has raised awareness and funds for such charitable
organizations as Leukemia Foundation, P.E.A.C.E. and Dream Street
Foundation. The Playboy Running Team received media attention nationally
on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Inside Edition, Hard Copy and
enormous regional recognition in every city where PRT participated
in a race.
I
have been very busy these last years with having a child and working
on charities and developing 3 main projects. All of which I will
introduce to all my fans as they start to take off. Hopefully you
will be excited and undoubtedly surprised.
Enjoy
the site and welcome!
Lots
of love, Charlotte
