Kathryn Leigh Scott
Best known for playing multiple roles on the TV gothic-supernatural soap Dark Shadows, Kathryn Leigh Scott has cashed in on her past as a Playboy bunny. She interviewed more than 200 former bunnies for her book The Bunny Years, in which she recounts working at New York City's Playboy Club while a student at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (about three years). "Every day at one o'clock," she wrote in the Telegraph earlier this year, "I would fly out of classes, apply false eyelashes and hairpieces in the taxi on the way to the Club, race into the Bunny dressing room, ditch my schoolgirl clothes in my locker, stuff myself with anything handy to fill out the D cups of my costume, zip up and run to the gift shop to grab my cigarette tray, and begin my blissful four-hour parade through all seven floors of the New York club, listening to great jazz and stopping to chat wherever I pleased." As Scott puts it, the gig was a path toward financial independence. She quit the job shortly after she was cast in Dark Shadows.
