Barbi Benton is an American model, actress, and singer, who gained fame in the 1970s and 1980s. She was born Barbara Lynn Klein on January 28, 1950, in New York City. Benton is best known for her work with Playboy magazine and her association with Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy.
She began her career as a model and became a well-known figure after appearing on the television series "Hee Haw" in the late 1960s and early 1970s, where she was a regular cast member and a popular "Hee Haw Honey." Her work on the show helped to establish her as a television personality.
Benton also pursued a career in music and acting. She released several albums during the 1970s, with some success in the country music genre. Her acting credits include appearances in television shows and movies, though she is perhaps best remembered for her modeling work.
Her relationship with Hugh Hefner brought significant media attention. They dated for several years during the late 1960s and early 1970s, and she is often credited with suggesting that Hefner buy the Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, which became a famous symbol of the Playboy brand.
Following her time in the spotlight, Benton largely stepped away from the entertainment industry to focus on her family. She is married to George Gradow, a real estate developer, and they have two children together.
