Biography of Daina House (a.k.a.: Dana House)

Daina House (born December 30, 1954 in Dallas, Texas) is a minister and a former model and actress. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its January 1976 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Ken Marcus. She is also known as Dana House.

House, unlike other playmates, actually wrote the article accompanying her pictorial. She was discovered by Playboy when a photographer sent the magazine pictures of her modeling a pair of shoes and asked her to become a Playmate. She posed nude for Playboy over the course of many years and worked for Playboy Enterprises for almost 20 years.

After feeling used up and so many disappointments filled with failed acting attempts she found religion (she was baptized in 1983 and had a "born again" experience in 1993) and had become a gospel singer and Sunday school teacher. She is now a ministry leader at the Church on the Way in Van Nuys, California.
