Barbi Benton – Mother of Two
The lovely Barbi Benton made a name for herself during the ’70s working as a singer and model. Additionally, she also acted on the children’s comedy series Hee Haw. However, she was particularly popular amongst a slightly older target audience: hormone-filled teenagers!
Barbi became one of the best-known female symbols of the 20th century, but she decided to suddenly quit show business during the ’80s. After marrying real estate developer George Gradow, Barbi bid the world of modeling, singing, and acting goodbye to raise her two children. Before marrying Gradow, she was known for being magazine publisher Hugh Hefner’s partner.
