Biography
About Lisa Matthews
Lisa Matthews, born Lisa Reich on September 24, 1969, in Peoria, Illinois, is an American former centerfold and Playboy model. She first came to national attention in April 1990 when she was named Playboy's Playmate of the Month, photographed by Arny Freytag. That recognition led to her being crowned Playmate of the Year in 1991, an honor celebrated at the Playboy Mansion. Her pictorials, such as 'Spring Blossom' and 'Playmate of the Year 1991,' earned high ratings from fans, and she appeared in several Playboy videos including the Playboy Video Playmate Calendar 1991 and Wet & Wild III. She was often praised for her wholesome, all-American appeal.
During her active years (1990–2006), Matthews also dabbled in acting, with roles in the film Hudson Hawk (1991) and television appearances on Married… with Children (1990) and Dream On (1992). She modeled for swimwear and fitness brands in the early 1990s, though she never pursued a high-profile career outside of Playboy. By the mid-1990s, she had largely stepped away from the public eye, and as of 2025, she maintains a private life with no confirmed social media presence or public activities. She is believed to reside in the United States, possibly Illinois, but specific details are unavailable.
Matthews stands 5'9" with a slim build and measurements of 37–24–36. She has blonde hair, brown eyes, and natural breasts, with no evidence of cosmetic procedures or tattoos. Her professional achievements include being named Playmate of the Year 1991, an honor that she earned by beating out a strong field that included a young Pamela Anderson. Hugh Hefner himself is said to have described Matthews as among the most beautiful women ever to appear in Playboy, though it was Anderson who went on to greater fame. Fans on sites like Babepedia and FreeOnes still celebrate her for her classic blonde beauty, girl-next-door charm, and natural figure. In 2024, she was voted first place in a Babepedia tournament of 1990 Playmates, a testament to her lasting appeal. Her estimated net worth is between $100,000 and $500,000, derived from her Playboy earnings, acting roles, and limited modeling work.
