Daina House (born December 30, 1954 in Dallas, Texas) model and actress. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its January 1976 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Ken Marcus.
Con
Daina, unlike other playmates actually wrote the article accompanying her pictorial. She was discovered by Playboy when a photographer sent the magazine pictures of her modeling a pair of shoes and asked her to become a Playmate. She posed nude for Playboy over the course of many years as well as working for Playboy enterprises for almost 20 years.
[edit] Drugs, Playboy, and Religion
Her life as an adolescent entangled with sex and drugs as well as a young adult probably attributed to her decision to pose nude for Playboy and her drug addiction.
After feeling used up and so many disappointments filled with failed acting attempts she found religion (she was baptized in 1983 and had a "born again" experience in 1993) and had become a gospel singer and Sunday school teacher, but seemed to express no overt regret about her Playboy past. Since then, she has become an evangelist who specializes in helping women overcome their addictions.
Below are films and television series listed in which she had some very minor roles or stand in appearances.
