Not a lady who’s main ambition was to be a Playboy model but she made it to the cover of several of Hugh Hefner’s iconic men’s magazine and in many special editions, regardless.

Jessica Hahn originally came to the attention of the public as a church secretary, when in 1980, at just 21 years old, Jessica became the mistress of TV evangelist, Jim Bakker. Jessica insisted she was drugged and raped by the husband of Tammy Faye Bakker, but Bakker himself insisted that the sex was consensual.

But regardless of what happened between the two of them, it catapulted Hahn into the public eye where she quickly capitalized on the situation and grasped her 15 minutes of fame with both hands.

Jessica’s notoriety gained her the attention of Hefner who had the brunette appearing nude in several Playboy magazine pictorials, on Playboy videos and on the cover of Playboy magazine.

Hahn went on to appear in a variety of TV shows, including Married… with Children and later had a much publicized relationship with comedian Sam Kinison who commandeered her to appear in his music video for “Wild Thing” in 1988.

Jessica now lives in Beverly Hills, California.

With her well know quote in mind, “Scandal fame is short-term,” Jessica Hahn certainly made the most of her’s!
