Barbi Benton (born January 28, 1950) is an American retired model, actress, songwriter, and singer. She was famous for being on the cover of “Playboy”. Benton has been a regular guest for four seasons in the comedy series Hee Haw and recorded several successful albums in the 1970s. Barbi Benton began modeling at only 16 years old. When the model began attending classes at UCLA for her degree, she supported her studies with her side hustle at the TV show Playboy After Dark.

As she continued to work with Playboy founder Hugh Hefner over the years, he started to fall for her which helped promote her to the position of a co-host. Benton has also gained fame for regularly appearing on the comedy series Hee Haw which has also proven to be another career investment that granted her a great credit score. She retired shortly after birthing two children.
