[edit] Biography

Candy Loving graduated from Ponca City High School in Ponca City, Oklahoma and was planning to attend the University of Oklahoma as a journalism major when she submitted her photo to Playboy's 25th Anniversary Great Playmate Hunt.

Upon winning, she became part of a whirlwind promotional tour that included a second pictorial for the August 1979 issue. Hugh Hefner has credited Candy with helping to revitalize the image of the Playmate as the "girl next door".

[edit] Trivia

• Loving is Candy's real maiden name.
• She was paid $25,000 to pose for the January 1979 issue.
• Candy was also ranked #6 in Playboy's "Top 100 Playmates" in 2000 and #39 in their Sex Stars of the Century.

[edit] Filmography

• Candy Loving appeared in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories (1980). Though Playboy made much of the fact that she auditioned for Allen, her part was a five-second, dialogue-free walk-on. She was cast with a small part as Tony Roberts' girlfriend, and also at least one scene with Allen himself. This scene was later cut from the movie, leaving her with only the walk-on scene at the end.

• Loving has also appeared in Playboy videos.
