Most women would be mortified to hold the title, ‘the oldest’ of anything but when the title also includes the words Playboy model, somehow the whole tone of the phrase is suddenly altered.

That’s the title held by Kathy Shower, the Playboy model born in 1953 and still being sought after as a Playboy magazine collector’s favourite.

In May 1985 Kathy was named Playboy’s Playmate of the Month by Hugh Hefner and in 1986 that title expanded to Playboy’s Playmate of the Year.

At the time of receiving both accolades Kathy was already a mother of two children aged 6 and 9 years and took the title from Sharon Clarke who was Playboy’s Playmate of the Year for 1971.

Kathy, along with the new ‘oldest Playboy model’ title, Rebecca Ramos is among only a very few beauties who have held the title in their thirties. Rebecca was 35 at the time of her centerfold appearance in January 2003 and remains the oldest Playmate of the Month so far.

Life after Playboy modeling lead Kathy to an acting career which saw her appearing in action adventure movies including, American Kickboxer 2, The Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck & erotic thriller genres Boundaries, LA Goddess and Velvet Dreams. Shower also made numerous appearances within mainstream TV, guest starring in episodes of Knight Rider, Simon & Simon and a continuing role in Santa Barbara. She has since retired from acting and has lived in Spain for more than a decade.

Holding the title of the second oldest Playboy Bunnygirl to be named Playmate of the Month at 31, has never been a stumbling block to the career of Tiffany Fallon.

It seems Tiffany was being groomed from an early life for the role of glamour model when she first took to the pitch as a cheerleader in the late 1990’s when the Atlanta Falcons qualified for the SuperBowl XXX111.

Following her pitch appearance Tiffany went on to become Miss Georgia USA in 2001 and was second runner up in the nationally televised Miss USA event.

By 2004, Tiffany had caught the eye of Playboy entrepeneur, Hugh Herner when he asked her to pose for his publication and she was consequently named Playmate of the Month in December that year.

But greater things were afoot. In 2005 Fallon made it to Playmate of the Year for which she received earned $100,000 cash and was given a blue Chevrolet Corvette convertible.

Never out of the public eye for long, Tiffany also featured in an episode of E! reality television series, The Girls Next Door. She also had cameo appearances in other episodes.

Remaining a loyal Playboy bunny girl, Tiffany often gives her time to events and functions in the name of Playboy, including modeling the new bunny outfit created by Roberto Cavalli at The Palms in Las Vegas.

The only other Playboy bunny girl to receive the accolade of the oldest bunny girl Playmate of the Year was Kathy Shower who was Miss May 1985 when she was 33 years old.
