Debra Jo Fondren is an American model and actress. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the September 1977 issue and as Playmate of the Year for 1978. Her original pictorial was photographed by Robert Scott Hooper. She was a waitress at the restaurant "Gallaghers" (not related to the comedian) in Beaumont, Texas when she was "discovered" for Playboy.
A favorite of many photographers thanks to her remarkably long blonde hair, which fell past her knees, she enjoyed a small measure of success in Hollywood, with small guest star roles on a number of TV series, such as Pink Lady and Jeff and Fantasy Island.
Debra faded from public view for much of the 1980s, and at one point she became a born-again Christian. However, she resumed modeling for Playboy in the mid-1990s, her hair then shoulder-length and red. She also appeared in the memorable Playboy home video Playmates in Paradise, cavorting with models 15 years her junior. She attended several Glamourcon events in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Today, she no longer participates in Playboy promotions because they place "too much emphasis on sex."[1] In 2004, citing personal and financial reasons, she shut down her personal website.
Her current profession is caring for celebrities recovering from breast implants, collagen injections, and other plastic surgery.[
