Kelly Monaco Biography

Kelly Marie Monaco (born May 23, 1976 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) is an American model and actress. She first gained attention as Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month in April 1997. Her first television role was on the nightime drama Baywatch from 1997 to 1998 (she had previously been a lifeguard in real life). She also had minor roles in the late 1990s films Basketball, Idle Hands and Mumford. In 2003 Monaco was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her Port Charles work.

In summer 2005, Monaco appeared as a contestant in the highly-rated American version of the television series Dancing With The Stars. Despite her perceived lack of height and an initial lack of grace, she improved each week and became a popular underdog. In the quarterfinal round samba, she coolly recovered from a mid-dance wardrobe malfunction without becoming exposed on live national television. On July 6, 2005, Kelly Monaco won the Dancing With The Stars competition.

The win on Dancing With the Stars boosted her visibility level considerably and resulted in a number of appearances on talk shows as well as possible new job offers, but she stated that she intends to remain with General Hospital. While she has not appeared in Playboy again, she has made cover appearances in scantily-clad magazines such as FHM and Maxim.
