Here at Playboy, we love nothing more than a beautiful woman with ambition. Playmate Kristine Hanson is originally from Illinois, but has been living on the West Coast where she’s been studying in communications at California State University in Sacramento. “I'm learning all facets of television. I might start as a reporter in Sacramento,” explains Kristine. “Maybe eventually get my own local talk show or something like that.” With an all-natural body, busty C-cup chest and voluminous blonde hair, executive producers would be silly to not give the part-time blackjack dealer a show—any show for that matter. “I'd like to be a professional dancer,” admits our bashful Playmate of the Month. “If all the breaks fell the right way, I'd love to dance on a variety show.” There’s just one small problem if Kristine were to land her own show—she wouldn’t want to move in Los Angeles. In fact, living in Northern California is important to our Miss September 1974—its homey, it’s where she would want to raise a family and help them make memories similar to her childhood ones. “My stepfather really loves horses and has owned race horses. They’re not as much a part of my life as they are of his, but I do find riding totally exhilarating,” explains the busty blonde. “I’d like to spend the year after I graduate traveling. That would be the perfect time in my life to just sort of look the world over.” Hosting a travel show would be a dream come true for our Miss September 1974, but that wouldn’t happen for Kristine. Instead, upon graduating with a degree in communication and theatre arts from CSU and a degree in meteorology from San Francisco State University, she became a meteorologist and television broadcaster in Sacramento, San Francisco and Santa Rosa. She was busy fulfilling her dream when another goal she never knew was a possibility was granted. Kristine was the host of her own gardening program, won an Emmy Award and an award for American Women in Radio and Television. “You should know that I'm an individual who's not afraid to express myself,” giggles the gorgeous meteorologist. Today’s forecast calls for a chance of Kristine Hanson showering her loyal fans with love and charm.
