Candy Loving

Playboy career In 1978, Playboy began a yearlong nationwide Great Playmate Hunt for its 25th-anniversary publication. She was a junior at the University of Oklahoma, during the 25th-anniversary celebrations, taking a year out of college to do so. Promotional appearances included the National Press Club in Washington D.C., and hosting a men's fashion show. In 2001, the readers of Playboy would vote her the runner-up for "the sexiest Playmate of the 1970s."

Post Playboy At the time of her January 1979 centerfold appearance Loving was a senior at the University of Oklahoma studying public relations. She continued to perform publicity duties for the magazine, including signing posters at car shows, and considering her career options. She later met Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Dave Reavis when both were judging a beauty pageant. She followed him to Tampa in July 1983. Even though their relationship did not last, she remained in southern Florida, working in the healthcare industry designing benefit packages for companies. She is no longer married but has one daughter.
