Biography
About Morganna Cottrell
Morganna Cottrell, born on Friday, July 4, 1947, in Louisville, Kentucky, is an American adult model and entertainer. She is best known by her moniker, Morganna, the Kissing Bandit, for her daring on-field escapades at baseball and other sports events from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s. Her career as an adult model spanned from 1969 to 2000, but her fame rests on those electrifying sprints across the diamond.
Her most distinguishing feature was her extraordinary figure. Her bustline was conventionally reported at around 60 inches, with vital statistics often listed as 60-23-39. However, earlier publicity photos from the early 1960s credit her with a more modest 48-24-39, and other reports put her at 44-23-37. Despite the varying numbers, her voluminous cleavage was undeniable, and she often joked about it. She once quipped that fellow busty icon Dolly Parton was "flat-chested" compared to her.
Her routine was simple: she would secure a front row seat, hide under a bulky jacket, and when a player was at bat and the crowd's attention was elsewhere, she would dash onto the field and plant a kiss on the startled athlete. She was arrested each time for disorderly conduct, which only fueled her notoriety. Her first such escapade was in 1971, at age 17, when she kissed Pete Rose at Riverfront Stadium on a dare. Rose's reaction was a surprised expletive, but he called the next day to apologize. Another notable incident was her attempt to kiss Ryne Sandberg at the first night game at Wrigley Field in 1988, though she was caught before reaching him.
She graced the pages of Playboy in June 1983, April 1985, and September 1989. Her last notable appearance before retirement was in the Farrelly brothers' film Kingpin in 1996, playing herself. She retired at the end of 1999 and now lives in Columbus, Ohio. Her career started with a bet, and as she said of Pete Rose, "my career started with a bet, and Pete's ended with one."
