Biography
About Barbi Benton
Barbi Benton, born Barbara Klein, first made her mark in the late 1960s as a young model and musician. The New York native became widely known as the girlfriend of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, though she was never a Playmate. The confusion is understandable; she graced the magazine's cover multiple times. She also carved out a niche in acting, playing Princess Codille in the cult classic "Deathstalker." Benton's career spanned nearly two decades, from 1968 to 1987, during which she balanced modeling, music, and film work.
A petite figure at 5'2", she has a slim build with natural measurements of 34–23–35. Her brown hair and eyes complemented her American, Caucasian appearance. She is 76 years old now, but her time in the spotlight remains a distinctive chapter in entertainment history. Though she stepped back from acting and modeling, her legacy as a Playboy-era icon and cult film actress endures. Her Instagram following is modest, but her cultural footprint is far larger.
