Cynthia Wood
Nude

If ever a sweet, young hardbody would appear as a hot-pants honey, dancing her way through an epic and historic film achievement in a teasingly revealing cowgirl outfit… And then, if that body would return twenty-something years later to drop the skimpy cowgirl top and impress her floating wonders and stand-up nipples on a hang-jawed audience… Well, that sweetness would be Cynthia Wood. Upon its initial release, director Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now (1979) blew cinema fans away with its dark visions and haunting metaphors—and also with the boogaloo buns and boobies of fair blonde sensual bundle Cynthia, onstage and on the verge of nudity to entertain a seething mob of sex-starved troops. Imagine the surprise of the teased G.I.s when more than two decades later Francis Ford revealed he had been holding back, issuing a new director’s cut, Apocalypse Now Redux (2001), a far more revealing show that is again stolen by the jutting flesh ledge of Cynthia, this time with breasts out in the clear light of day. The blonde babe had a similar comeback courtesy of Playboy. In February 1973, she was Playmate of the month, and in 1974 she grabbed the Playmate of the Year title. Ten years later, she did a brand-new pictorial in the April 1984 issue, proving she hadn’t lost one single ounce of gorgeous hotness. So impressive was she, that Playboy even included her in their “Centerfolds of the Century” round-up in the January 2000 issue. Please note that Mr. Skin is equally impressive, as he went this entire bio without even dropping one illicit reference to Cynthia’s last name. Where would the challenge be in that?
