Cute and busty 5'2" blonde Teri Hope was born Natalie Hope Ronson in February, 1939. Teri studied drama at Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Hope attended a "Playboy"-themed party at the Beta Sigma Rho fraternity house; chapter members at said bash proclaimed Hope the "Party Playmate" and submitted her photos to "Playboy" magazine. Teri was subsequently chosen as the Playmate of the Month for the September, 1958 issue of "Playboy." In the wake of her Playmate stint Hope went on to a brief acting career which lasted up until the mid 60s: She not only made guest appearances on episodes of such TV series as "The Gertrude Berg Show," "Hennesey," and ""Shannon," but also has small roles in the Elvis Presley pictures "Fun in Acapulco" and "Roustabout."
