Playboy Playmate Lisa Matthews is an incredibly gorgeous blonde babe whose fresh-faced good looks and endlessly curvaceous figure took her to the pinnacle of centerfold success. Born in Peoria, Illinois, on September 24, 1969, Lisa grew up as a typical Midwestern gal. She always harbored dreams of making it in Hollywood, though, so once she graduated from high school she moved out to Southern California to try and make her dreams a reality.

It wasn't long before Lisa's dazzling beauty caught the attention of several photographers, who suggested she send in some test pics to Playboy. With her bright smile, smooth skin and luscious 37-24-36 natural curves, Lisa was an instant hit among the mag's editors and was named Miss April 1990. She followed that up by being voted Playmate of the Year for 1991, an honor that she certainly deserved.

Lisa pursued acting for a time, but landed only one small part in the 1991 caper flop 'Hudson Hawk.' Her stint as a Playboy Playmate and model did get her the chance to meet lots of Hollywood bigwigs, though. One of the biggest of the bigwigs became her man -- producer Joel Silver. Lisa and Joel have been linked for the better part of a decade, and although she has drifted away from performing, Lisa is still a presence on the Hollywood scene. She's also a presence in the memories of anyone who's seen one of her pictorials -- simply put, Lisa Matthews is one of the prettiest and most alluring women to ever grace the pages of Playboy.
