Biography
About Michelle Janetis
American-born in Salzburg, Austria, Michelle Janetis is a former actress, model, and Playboy model. She first gained attention in October 1996, at age 18, by winning a highly publicized local "Baywatch" search competition in South Florida. In the early 2000s, she worked as an actress, promotional and glamour model, and nightclub hostess in South Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She later moved into commercial modeling and hospitality, managing local clientele at hotspots like the former Crobar Nightclub on South Beach. In June 2007, she appeared as a contestant on the web-based reality competition show "Girls and Guns," filmed in Homestead, Florida.
She holds a blonde hair color, stands 5'4" with a petite frame, weighs 105 lbs, and has a slim body type with natural 34C breasts. Her measurements are 34–24–34, and her solo work is categorized as full nudity. She has appeared in Playboy Special Editions Natural Beauties #6 (April 2003) and #7 (March 2004), as well as American Curves #37 (October 2007).
Michelle gained widespread public attention after appearing in the 2023 Netflix true-crime docuseries "Gunther's Millions." She was recruited by her then-boyfriend Lee Dahlberg to join an inner circle of models, actors, and employees known as "The Burgundians." The group was part of an elaborate lifestyle experiment established by Maurizio Mian, an Italian eccentric and pharmaceutical heir who claimed to manage the fortune of Gunther, the world's richest dog. They lived in Madonna's former Miami mansion, which Mian purchased using the dog's trust. The group was marketed as a pop music group, but they had little musical talent. In the documentary, Michelle revealed that life in the house quickly turned dark and weird: researchers in lab coats monitored them 24/7, bedroom cameras were installed, and behavior, including sexual relationships among members, was studied and encouraged like a cult-style social experiment. She described it as starting off glamorous before becoming "weird" and uncomfortable. She eventually left the group after growing deeply uncomfortable with the restrictive, heavily monitored dynamics.
According to follow-up reports, Michelle transitioned away from the entertainment industry and now runs her own professional dog-boarding and dog-sitting business from her home. She lives in Florida and is engaged to sales and marketing director Joey Fazio.
