KAREN MCDOUGAL
Karen McDougal first practiced her Elementary Education degree by making a living as a preschool teacher before she caught wind of the public spotlight. Her victory at a local swimwear contest encouraged her to stop being a teacher and start her career in the public eye, eventually taking credit for the 1998 title of “Playmate of the Year”.
McDougal has since retired from her time as a Playmate to focus on fitness modelling as she graced the pages of several fitness publications like Muscle & Fitness and Iron Man, claiming that she goes to the gym five or six days per week.
