Donna Edmondson (born February 1, 1966 in Greensboro, North Carolina) was chosen as Playboy's Playmate of the Month for November 1986 and Playmate of the Year for 1987. Her '86 Playmate centerfold was photographed by Arny Freytag & Stephen Wayda. Her PMOY pictorial was photographed by Richard Fegley.
It was noted that she was a Southern Baptist and a virgin at the time of her appearances, and that it was her father that encouraged her to apply to be a Playmate. After her appearance in the magazine, she went on to appear in seven Playboy videos.
She became something of a scandal because of her virginity-- and that created quite a stir. The anti-pornography report of the Meese Commission had prompted all 7-Elevens to pull the magazine from their shelves. Soon all the talk shows immediately wanted to book the virgin PMOY from the Bible Belt. Joan Rivers made a huge deal out of her virginity, and on Larry King's show, one caller accused her of not being religious because she posed nude.
She traveled all over the country as a Playmate (54 cities in 52 days!) After this all calmed down, she moved back home to Greensboro, North Carolina. She took a job as a tax accountant, and got married. Today she is a wife and mother of three.
