At 10 1/2 pounds and one month late I was born on January 21, 1961 in Omaha, Nebraska during a middle of blizzard! I am German, French, Welsh and American Indian (Iroquios). My Great-Great Grandmother was a full blooded American Iroquio Indian and I am proud to be from original American ancestry. I was a successful athlete as a youth; I was an Olympic protégé swimmer in the 50-meter butterfly, 400-meter individual medley and the 400-meter relay. I was an AAU state Champion for two years in a row in Iowa, and a member of the Junior Olympic Team. For many years, I had my own free swimming clinic for inner-city children ages 2 through 16, also teaching Water safety Instruction, C.P.R. and junior and senior lifesaving. After breaking both my knees when Iwas 15, I turned to my second love tennis, which I played in high school and college and still play pro-am and celebrity tournaments. A few years later, I picked up running as a way to calm my stress and asthma in Los Angeles. Within six months, I ran my first marathon. Since March 1994, I have completed 15 marathons. My best time to date being 3 hours and 20 minutes. I have completed a five-Kilometer race in 19 minutes and 10 seconds , and am still pushing to better my times. An avid skier since the age of four, I have conquered the European Alps, Canada's Whistler and all of North America's mountain ranges.

The spotlight began to shine on me when I was approached by Playboy to do a pictorial while pursuing my degrees in Biology and Psychology at Indiana University. Having already done some modeling in college I carefully considered Playboy's offer, deciding that the venture would be beneficial for both parties. Following graduation, I moved to Europe where I lived in Monte Carlo, London and Sweden. Once in Europe,I worked as a model and actress, appearing in several films made in Italy and Japan.

Finishing my work in Europe, I returned to the states after four years, arriving in New york and after starring in "Posed for Murder" and "Frankenhooker" and several commercials I headed for Los Angeles in 1990. Making Los Angeles my home, I formed my own company, International Sponsors Limited, specializing in corporate event sponsorship.

Now as president and owner of "CHK Productions, Inc." I am working to dispel the myth that "Playboy Playmates" are simply just pretty faces and bodies. After being the first Playmate ever to receive a license from playboy, I founded the "Playboy Running Team" in 1994. The team consisted of ten Playmates, unified through their passion for fitness, the outdoors and running marathons. Coined, "Playmates with a Purpose", the Playboy Running Team has raised awareness and funds for such charitable organizations as Leukemia Foundation, P.E.A.C.E. and Dream Street Foundation. The Playboy Running Team received media attention nationally on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Inside Edition, Hard Copy and enormous regional recognition in every city where PRT participated in a race.

I have been very busy these past few years with having a child, continuing to model, working on charities, and developing a few new projects. All of which I will introduce to all my fans as they start to take off. Hopefully you will be excited and undoubtedly surprised. I started my own production company in 2004 and have two exciting projects I'm focusing on now.

I became a contractor in California and started an acid staining company called "Fauxcrete by Char" that specializes in beautiful acid staining of concrete. I now am starting a unique, custom furniture company and am also in school to receive my masters in Psychology.

Lots of love, Charlotte
