With her exotic Haitian looks, Garcelle Beauvais made her Playboy model debut on the cover of Hugh Hefner’s men’s magazine in August 2007 in which she can be seen in a nude pictorial.

The actress and former fashion model is best known for her roles in NYPD Blue and The Jamie Foxx Show but wasn’t phased at the prospect of removing her clothes to appear in the iconic magazine.

With a career that began at age seventeen, Beauvais first found fame and fortune in New York where she moved in an effort to pursue a career as a fashion model. After a short time in The Big Apple Garcelle moved to Miami where she was signed with Ford Models and Irene Marie Models. She modeled print ads for Avon, Mary Kay and Clairol, and she also modeled in catalogs for Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.

Garcelle’s modeling career has seen her on the catwalks for famous fashion houses such as Calvin Klein and Isaac Mizrahi.

In 2008, Garcelle launched her children’s jewelry line called Petit Bijou” and with three children of her own, it was an inevitable fashion path for her to walk.
