Either it was chilly during this scene or she's just easily excitable...

I vaguely remember some Playboy programming on network TV, but I don't remember this special. All 4 parts have been uploaded, and mentioned in a couple of other threads on VEF, but for the purposes of this thread, Jeana is interviewed in Part 3, at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw50iMXg6rE.

For reference:
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mPGPdD2R8g
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRSBPgmwwkI
Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN5qBoDNvN0

This video really is fabulous, and required viewing for all vintage Playboy fans...definitely a time capsule of late 70s TV and golden-era Playboy. There's a Chuck Mangione number, slow motion of Playboy models roller skating, old commercials, a local newscaster who suggested that viewers "turning off the TV in disgust" should return in a half-hour for the news (obviously 10 PM fare), and way too much Village People (who, I think, was at the wrong party). Most of the YouTube comments revolve around Dorothy Stratten's appearance and the lame, lame bits that Dawson did with her.

Five models were interviewed as Playmates-to-be, in a segment called "Playmates of the 1980s". Two, only identified as Phyllis and Karen, were never Playmates, I believe. Videos of these two were not featured after the interviews, as there were for the other three Playmates. Seated at the table, from left to right, were Jeana Tomasino, "Karen", "Phyllis", Kym Herrin, and Victoria Cooke. Does anyone recognize Karen & Phyllis?

Following the interview are edited down, with plenty of strategically placed clothing and props, of course, videos, mainly of the centerfold shoot, as follows:

Victoria Cooke (Aug. 1980) at 13:57
Jeana Tomasino (Nov. 1980) at 15:40
Kym Herrin (May 1982) at 17:43

These videos bring up a couple of issues. First, holy crap, this was on broadcast TV in 1979???!!! Damn, times have changed, for the worse, much, much worse.

Second, some other posters have assumed that full profiles exist for these three because of the unedited versions, which have been posted already elsewhere on VEF. In retrospect, it's possible that these videos were filmed strictly as segments for this ABC show, during the Playmates' original shoot, with the unedited versions being released later on PBC, and that full profiles, beyond what already is known, do not exist, nor ever have existed. Any thoughts?

I do also wonder what happened with Phyllis and Karen (not Price or Witter, I think).

One other note: I'm posting this in the threads for Victoria Cooke, Jeana Tomasino, and Kym Herrin...thanks for your patience.

Jeana Tomasino 　

Ready On The Set

this charter member of our playmates singing group measures her success in shoes and stocks

Jeana Tomasino is ready. Just name the occasion; she'll be there. On time, fully prepared and looking good. In spaced-out Los Angeles, where she lives now, that's a standout characteristic. So standout, in fact, that she doesn't fit Hollywood's institutionalized numerical rating system. Jeana is quite simply an A. You don't get to be an A by just being pretty, though Jeana could give lessons in blinding flash. For the A, you've got to do your homework. And that's what Jeana's been doing since she left her Milwaukee homestead several years ago to seek fame and fortune (her fame, anybody's fortune). Her first stop was Chicago, where, in only a little more time than it took the Great Chicago Fire, she had consumed the city. In a first-class whirlwind tour, she established her credentials as a model, sometime actress and full-time bon vivant. "I loved the mix of people in Chicago," she says, "the doctors, the lawyers; at a party, you could learn something. Here in L.A., it's movies, movies, movies." Jeana is nothing if not social. An irrepressible people lover, she draws out the shy with queries and muzzles the arrogant with her sincerity. Most of the time, the party doesn't begin until Jeana gets there. With the ashes of Chicago -- and a few of the hearts -- still smoldering, Jeana attacked L.A. It was no contest. She parlayed her modeling experience into several national TV commercials. You've seen her tout Dittos, Lincoln-Mercury, The Gap and Coppertone, to name a few. As an actress, she has collected a raft of small parts, notably one in Mel Brooks's upcoming flick The History of the World -- Part I. As a bon vivant, she hits the best parties, including those celebrated galas at a certain Holmby Hills mansion. All the while, Jeana was doing her homework: making contacts, taking singing and dancing lessons, reading voraciously. Getting ready. The money she was making went partly into the stock market, partly into shoes. "I snort Charles Jourdan shoes," she says. "My stockbroker gets angry when he sees them all, telling me how much I could have invested in stocks instead. I give the extras to my mother or my sister, though I don't know what they do with rhinestoned high heels in Milwaukee." After all the work she'd done, it was no wonder that when Playboy went looking for a few talented Playmates to form a singing group, Jeana was one of the chosen few. The same sparkle that put her on Playboy's centerfold will soon put smiles on faces of stage audiences. Such a rapid rise would fog the brains of lesser mortals, but not Jeana's. Everything is falling into place and success is somehow inevitable. While some would say she's leading a dream life now, Jeana assures us, "I have lots of dreams left; I'm just starting." One hell of a good start, we'd say.
