Susan M. Smith, a captivating blonde, was born on January 14, 1959, in Beloit, Wisconsin. Growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, she developed a carefree spirit, which would later serve her well in her unconventional career path.
As a young adult, Smith's adventurous nature led her to participate in wet t-shirt contests in the vibrant city of Las Vegas. Her stunning good looks and outgoing personality caught the attention of renowned "Playboy" photographer Robert Scott Hooper, who would later discover her talent and feature her in the iconic magazine.
Smith's Playboy debut came in the September 1981 issue, where she was crowned Playmate of the Month. However, this was not her first appearance in the magazine. In 1979, she had already made a splash in the February issue, featuring in the pictorial "The Girls of Las Vegas."
But Smith's claim to fame extends far beyond her Playboy appearances. In 1982, she participated in an unforgettable wrestling match against the eccentric comedian Andy Kaufman for the "intergender championship of the world" belt. Despite clearly dominating the bout, Kaufman was declared the winner, much to Smith's dismay. The intense match was later featured in the February 1982 issue of Playboy.
In addition to her wrestling exploits, Smith also ventured into the world of cinema, landing small roles in two films during the 1980s. In the horror slasher cult classic "Don't Go in the House," she played a woman stalked by a vicious misogynist in a supermarket. Her other film credit includes a call girl role in the adult comedy romp "Working Girls."
After leaving the entertainment industry, Smith turned her entrepreneurial spirit towards construction, eventually founding and running her own business in the southwest. Today, she is a successful businesswoman, having traded in her centerfold fame for a life of hard work and accomplishment.
