Jenny McCarthy

Jenny McCarthy embodies the all-American dream, starting as a hometown girl from Evergreen Park, Illinois. She shot to fame as Playboy's Playmate of the Month in October 1993 and earned Playmate of the Year in 1994 with her stunning looks and easy charm. Born on November 1, 1972, this 5-foot-6 blonde with blue eyes and 38C curves moved to Los Angeles, hosted the edgy Hot Rocks on Playboy TV, then took MTV by storm with Singled Out. She launched her own late-night show, The Jenny McCarthy Show, blending sharp humor with star power. Jenny jumped into movies, stealing scenes in BASEketball, Scream 3, and Scary Movie 3, and popped up on TV hits like The Drew Carey Show, Just Shoot Me, and Two and a Half Men. A true Chicago native, she kept ties to Playboy with covers in January 2005 and June 2012, even shooting as a Celebrity Photographer for their Cyber Club. She's authored eight bestselling books, co-hosted The View, married actor Donnie Wahlberg in 2014, and speaks out boldly as an activist. From centerfold to screen star, Jenny McCarthy delivers laughs, smarts, and staying power that keeps fans cheering.
