COVER STORY
Jenny McCarthy first appeared in PLAYBOY in 1993. Our readers spotted
something special and elected her Playmate of the Year. From there, her popularity
took off. She berated bachelors on Singled Out and starred in an MTV
comedy. You can see her again on this season's Bad Girl's Guide on
UPN. And she was a very bad girl, for Senior Contributing Photographer Stephen
Wayda. Jenny gives our Rabbit cardiac awrist.
