Sporting a thick bob hairstyle at 18, she’d soon become an icon of style and screen. As she turns 75 today, can you guess who she is

Barbi Benton, born Barbara Lynn Klein on January 28, 1950, was a model, actress, country singer, and TV personality who rose to fame in the 1970s. Known for her Playboy appearances and roles on Hee Haw and The Love Boat, Benton also had a successful country music career, with her hit “Brass Buckles” reaching the top five on the Billboard charts.

After her relationship with Hugh Hefner, she married real estate developer George Gradow in 1979 and chose family life over fame, stepping away from the spotlight after her first child was born in 1986. Benton is remembered as a 1970s cultural icon who balanced multiple careers before prioritizing family.
