Vicki McCarty Iovine (born Vicki Ann McCarty on January 13, 1954 in Los Angeles, California) is an American model, writer, and lawyer. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its September 1979 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Arny Freytag.

Vicki graduated summa cum laude from the University of California, Berkeley and earned membership in the Phi Beta Kappa society. She received a law degree from Hastings College of Law in 1980. She also earned an advanced degree in public international law from Cambridge University. She was a practicing attorney for several years; she admitted to the California State Bar on December 16, 1980 and changed to inactive status on January 1, 1991. (Her California State Bar membership was also suspended from June 26, 1982 to November 12, 1985 for failure to pay bar dues.)

Vicki came to the attention of Playboy when, while applying for an internship with the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, she set out to do an article on the magazine's 25th Anniversary Great Playmate Hunt. She set up an interview with Playboy to be considered for the centerfold and showed up in a bikini, with her Phi Beta Kappa pin attached to the bottoms. The internship and article never happened, but her selection as a Playmate did. Her pictorial ran in the same issue as the famed first "Girls of the Ivy League" layout, and much was made of her intellect in the resulting publicity.

In the fall of 1982, Vicki tested for the hostess job on Wheel of Fortune appearing on the show for a few weeks. The position was eventually given to Vanna White.

She published The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy in 1995, a successful book that launched a series of related guides, all written by Vicki.

She is a former member of the board of directors of the Special Olympics, as well as a former television producer and radio talk show host. She is currently separated from her husband, record producer and founder of Interscope Records Jimmy Iovine. They have four children.^[1]
