Kelly Marie Monaco

When someone asks, Whos that girl? the answer is nearly always Kelly Marie Monaco. A succulent brunette from Pennsylvanias Poconos, Kelly spent her girlhood outdoors, climbing trees, fishing and swimming with the best of them. Trained by her mother, a former figure skater, Kelly honed her tight, toned body on the ice rink, and a summer job at a resort led her to become a lifeguard. Im very daring, she says. You dont have to ask me twice! Success comes with bold and creative moves. In one such move, Kelly sent us a portfolio, and here at Playboy, we know a good thing when we see it without hesitation, we made her our Miss April 1997. Ever resourceful, Kelly leveraged her Playboy fame into a recurring role on Baywatch, rubbing shoulders with fellow Playmates Pam Anderson and Donna DErrico. When my Centerfold came out, I got a call from the producers, she says. The straight paved road wont always get you farther than the winding dirt road! Miss Monaco went on to become a soap actress, starring on ABCs Port Charles and General Hospital, and nabbing two Daytime Emmys for her performances. I stay determined, she says. I always try 110% to succeed in the land of make-believe. With soft-hearted, hard-bodied Kelly Monaco, seeing is believing, and thats more than enough for us.
