Jeana Tomasino

Coming to Playboy from Milwaukee is our Miss November 1980, Jeana Tomasino who knew she needed to leave home for Chicago. Known to party and tell it like it is, the busty brunette had casting agents eating out of the palm of her hand offering her every role and photoshoot possible. Having acted in commercials for brands like Lincoln-Mercury and Coppertone to acting in Mel Brooks’s The History of the World—Part I, Jeana was on top of the world when she received the call from Playboy. Our all-natural Playmate of the Month may seem like a wisecracking, party girl, but truth be told, she’s in on the joke. Jeana would use her sex appeal and her bold personality to leave an impression on anyone ibn the industry she met at parties so when they needed a model or an actress, they’d think of her. “I have lots of dreams left; I’m just starting,” smiles our Miss November 1980. “I loved the mix of people in Chicago. The doctors, the lawyers; at a party, you could learn something. Here in LA, it’s movies, movies, movies.” Jeana isn’t complaining. Having acted one film and several television shows like T.J. Hooker, Cheers and St. Elsewhere, she was living the good life as her family back home reaped the benefits. “I snort Charles Joudran shoes. My stockbroker gets angry when he sees them all, telling me how much I could have invested in stocks instead. I give the extras to my mother or my sister, though I don’t know what they do with rhinestoned high heels in Milwaukee,” laughs Jeana. Her stockbroker was relieved to hear that Miss Tomasino would be taking a break from shoe shopping so she could focus on romance and more importantly, her relationship with baseball player Matt Keough. “I need a lot of romance. That extra phone call, flowers or something silly in the mail,” says Jeana who was married to Matt from 1984-2007. “First thing in the morning I need a massage, just to wake my skin up. I really think I’d be happier married and I keep setting deadlines. But, somehow, the deadlines are always put off.” The marriage may have expired, but Jeana’s love affair with the limelight and the Orange County social scene is still going strong. It only made sense that when the executive producers of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County were casting for their show, they called Jeana who quickly accepted. Playboy fans were stoked to see that beautiful Playmate is still the same feisty woman she was the day she graced pages of Playboy back in 1980.
