About Kathy Shower
Kathy Shower, born on March 8, 1953, in Brookville, Ohio, holds a unique record: she became the oldest Playmate of the Year at age 33, a distinction she took from Sharon Clark. She was also the third oldest Playmate of the Month, appearing at 32, after Cindy Brooks and Dolores Donlon.

Her centrefold appearance in May 1985 led to her being named Playmate of the Year in 1986.
