Lynn Theel
Biography
Buxom, sexy, and shapely blonde looker Lynn Theel was born on March 5, 1951 in Detroit, Michigan. Lynn was involved with dancing and singing while growing up and even sang in various school bands while attending high school. She's a graduate of the Lee Strasberg Theatrical Institute. Theel worked as a cabaret singer in Germany and a horse groomer in California prior to becoming the Playmate of the Month in the July, 1975 issue of "Playboy." Lynn made her film debut with a small part in the excellent surfing epic "Big Wednesday." She had her sole lead role as the titular luckless innocent teenager in the little seen indie drama "Fyre." Theel was gruesomely victimized in two fright films made in 1980: she's brutally raped by a grotesque mutant beast in the terrifically trashy "Humanoids from the Deep" and gets bumped off by a predatory alien hunter in the nifty sci-fi/horror outing "Without Warning." Lynn made guest appearances on episodes of the TV shows "Vega$" and "Code Red." Following a co-starring role in the lackluster "Hollywood Boulevard II," Theel called it a day as an actress and has retired from the profession. Lynn Theel now lives in Hyannis, Massachusetts.
