Heather Kozar (born May 4, 1976) is an American glamour model known as Playboy'sPlaymate of the Month for January 1998 and Playmate of the Year for 1999, and for her work on the game show The Price Is Right.

Early life[edit]

Heather Kozar was born in Akron, Ohio.[3] She grew up in Green, Ohio,[4] and graduated from Green High School in 1994.[3]

Career[edit]

In 1998 Kozar became Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for January 1998, appearing in both the monthly nude photo spread and a series of Playboy videos. She was voted Playmate of the Year for 1999 and appeared on the cover of the June 1999 issue of the magazine. Her original centerfold was photographed by Richard Fegley.[2][5]

In 2001,[6] Kozar became a Barker's Beauty model for the CBS daytime game show The Price Is Right.[1][7] She was eventually fired from the show, according to Fremantle Media, the show's production company, because it led to appearances in an increasing number of high-paying television commercials and other assignments, and some of these conflicted with the show's production schedule. Fremantle Media executive Syd Vinnedge praised Kozar, saying, "I've been delighted with the contribution [Kozar] made to our show. We're pleased when our models can use appearances on The Price Is Right as a steppingstone."[8]

In 2002, Kozar was the St Pauli Girl, the spokesmodel for the beer of the same name.[7][9] She also appears in some of Jeff Koons's paintings, including "Elvis", "Triple Elvis", and "Quad Elvis" (2008).[10]

Kozar's image has appeared in Jeff Koons paintings, including "Triple Elvis" (2007)[11] and "Peg Leg Double Elvis" (2009).[12]

Kozar modeled for companies such as Brut cologne, BMW, Wendy's, and Cutty Sark Scots Whisky.[3]

Personal life[edit]

Kozar married Jim Pyne in 2021.

In 2009, Boston.com ranked Kozar No. 5 in its list of the "Ten prettiest NFL girlfriends and wives".[13]
