Petra Charlotte Verkaik (born November 4, 1966 in Los Angeles, California) is an American adult modeland former actress. Verkaik is known for her modeling in Playboy publications, where her many appearances earned her the accolade "the most published woman in Playboy history". Verkaik is one of the few truly large-breasted Playboy Playmates, and her majestic tits are natural. Now in her late 40s, Petra continues to model nude, and 25 years after her debut, her extraordinary beauty and sex appeal are undiminished.
Career
The big-breasted Verkaik started her career in the Great Playmate Hunt Special Edition in February 1989. Her great looks and magnificent tits propelled her to Playmate of the Month in December 1989. Verkaik said that "Playboy just bounced off my chest and fell into my lap." She owes her exotic looks to her Dutchfather and Indonesian mother.
During the 1990s she made several movie and TV appearances, mostly in cameo or supporting roles emphasizing her dramatic contours, including Married ... with Children, Love Potion No. 9, and The Last Road.
Petra has represented Playboy at many fashion and media shows and conventions over the years. She has been a regular guest at Glamourcon since 1996, has been at COMDEX and AdultDex twice, and has been a speaker at the Consumer Electronics Show and the Video Software Dealers Association convention. She has also been on many national radio and TV talk shows, particularly the Howard Stern Show in August 1997. She has been featured in the Pin-Up Girls Calendar since 1996, and even performed in Pajama Tops, a sexy comedy play in Toronto which ran from July to October of 1994. An indication of her enduring popularity, she was voted Readers Choice Model of the Year for Playboy's Book of Lingerie in 1997, nearly eight years after her Playmate of the Month appearance.
In 2003, Verkaik retired from Playboy modeling. Today, Verkaik continues to model independently on her own website, which was created in the late 1990's.
The Legends of Petra's Chest
In the commentary accompanying her centerfold appearance, Verkaik credited her massive breasts with saving her life, as they cushioned the impact of a Volkswagen bus falling off its jack while she was working beneath it.
In July 2002, Verkaik made headlines when she attended a high school prom in Tustin, California with the son of a friend. The high school senior, who Petra originally came to know from reading his "sensitive" college entrance essay, claimed that he had never seen any of the widely-available pornographic pictures of Verkaik on the Internet prior to their date.[1] The school principal allowed Verkaik to attend but forbade her to wear anything strapless, sheer or with excessive décolletage.
One of Verkaik's best known pictorials depicts her transforming from an cartoon Lara Croft (of Tomb Raider fame) to a topless, and then nude, real flesh-and-boobs woman. The photo gallery was released in 2001 (shortly after the Angelina Jolie film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) and was entitled "Petra Croft." The short video clip of the same name became a cult classic, much sought around the internet. In 2010 Petra reprised this role, producing a series of videos for her website that were titled "Petra Croft Returns", parts 1 through 5. There is a lesser known, softcore short movie that Petra did for Playboy TV in the early '90s, called Cold Wars. It is one of the few instances where she appears to be making love with a male actor, although no genitalia is visible.
Trivia
