Victoria Zdrok

Career

Zdrok was born in Kyiv and immigrated to the United States, where she was crowned Philadelphia’s "Best Beauty" in August 1994 before becoming a Playboy centrefold that October. She joined Penthouse’s roster as a Pet of the Month in June 2002 and was named Pet of the Year in 2004; Wikipedia credits her as only the second centrefold, after Linn Thomas, to hold both a Playboy Playmate and a Penthouse Pet title. Alongside modelling she earned a J.D. from Villanova and a Ph.D. in psychology from Drexel, and now works as a non-practising attorney, clinical psychologist and sex therapist.

Signature: The clearest case on this list that the Playboy and Penthouse beauty-title system and a separate professional career are not mutually exclusive: she holds a law degree and a doctorate in psychology alongside the Playmate and Pet of the Year titles, and now practises as a sex therapist.
