Biography
About Brigitta Cimarolli
Few former Playboy models matched Brigitta Cimarolli's mix of glamour and intellect: she was a Playmate, a Penthouse Pet, and a regional chess champion. Born in Salzburg, Austria, on 11 November 1958, she started young. At 17 she entered beauty pageants, and at 18 she was elected Miss Salzburg and Miss Young International in Tokyo. Her big break came in November 1977, when the German edition of Playboy named her Playmate of the Month. Her measurements then were 90-60-90, her height 172 cm, and her weight 58 kg. The shoot launched a career that lasted from 1977 to 1990, roughly 13 years in front of the camera.
She later became the Penthouse Girl in the German Penthouse for September 1983. Over the years, she appeared on the covers of Neue Revue, Lui, Oui, Exklusiv, Star Ladies, Sexy, Cover Girls, New York, High Society, Quick, Excelsior, Stern, Bunte, the 1985 D&W catalog, the Underfashion catalog, and posed for various television productions. In 2012, photographer Stefan Dokoupil shot her again for Penthouse. She also acted in a handful of films and videos. In 1983 she appeared in Taifun der Zärtlichkeit (also known as The Story of the Dolls), a light-hearted production that reportedly marked the end of the Munich production company Geiselgasteig Film GmbH. In 1985 she starred in the German lingerie commercial A Midsummer Night's Dream. Two years later, she appeared in the video for World of Promises with the Swedish hard rock group Treat. She also worked with Falco, appearing in the 1984 video No Answer (Hallo Deutschland) and later in the 1998 production Falco – Hoch wie nie. In 2006, a collection of soft porn films titled Girls in Action included her 1985 film A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Outside modeling and acting, Cimarolli pursued chess with notable success. She won the title of Salzburg State Chess Champion and reached a national Elo rating of around 1700. In a simultaneous chess match against world champion Anatoly Karpov, she managed two draws and one loss, a rare achievement for an amateur player. With her slim build, brown hair, and brown eyes, she stands 5'8" and weighs 128 lbs. Her bust is natural, and she has performed solo and partnered scenes in her work.
