Career

"Allison Parks" was a pseudonym she used when modelling for Playboy. She told The Playmate Book that she liked it so much, she kept it as her professional name.[2] She was a mother at the time of her centerfold, and her kids were featured in a photo in her layout, but they were identified as swimming school students.

After her Playmate work, Parks went on to a long career as a model and actress, mostly in TV commercials.

Death

Parks died of heart failure while on vacation in Hawaii, at the age of 68.[3]

gollark: Have you considered the PinePhone?
gollark: It's better than no replaceability option.
gollark: It's not just that. You can *replace* batteries if they're removable.
gollark: I have an old phone with a removable battery lying around, but I can't actually charge it due to what seems like a defect with the USB port in all units of it.
gollark: I hate it when phones decide to randomly cut down on external interfaces (µSD, headphone jacks, removable batteries) for no good reason.
