Deborah Driggs
IMDB Bio for Deborah Driggs

Deborah Driggs is an actress, writer, former model, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. A member of the Screen Actors' Guild, she most recently appeared in the movie Neon Bleed (La Famiglia Pictures, 2023), playing Vivian Lacey, the mother of the lead. She writes a popular weekly inspirational blog and in 2022 made her publishing debut with Son of a Basque, a fictionalized account of the remarkable life of her resilient immigrant grandfather.

Deborah launched her successful modeling career with the Playboy organization. She posed as a Playboy centerfold, was chosen as a Playmate of the Month, and was featured on the magazine's cover three times. She then graced the cover of Nuance Magazine, where she was called "A Star on the Horizon." These high-profile projects led to opportunities as a Video Jockey (VJ) for the Playboy Channel's Hot Rock and appearances in several music videos, most notably with the rock group Devo, best known for the hit single, "Whip It." She also modeled for major apparel brands, including Ocean Pacific, Body Glove, and the California-based Beach Research.

While modeling, Deborah set out to improve her acting ability. She completed the Meisner Acting Techniques program at the world-renowned Baron Brown acting studio. She has been featured in several television commercials, including a Mazda commercial where she played Elizabeth Taylor. In addition, she spent two years at Park City TV in Utah delighting local viewers as the host of The Morning Show, an unscripted daily talk, lifestyle, and news program.

Deborah has been performing since the age of seven, driven by her earliest dream of becoming an ice-skating athlete and competing in the Olympics. After graduating high school, she focused on pursuing her interest in dance. She won the audition to join the United States Football League (USFL) cheerleading squad in their first year and then went on to join a professional dance company touring Japan. After that ended, she returned to Los Angeles and began seeking work as a model, which led to the game-changing Playboy audition. Though her career has taken many unexpected turns, she has maintained her positive attitude, willingness to take risks, ability to rise to challenges, and determination to never take "no" for an answer.

Deborah Driggs was married to the 1984 Olympic Gold gymnast Mitch Gaylord, with whom she shares three children.
