The Miss December Diaries

Lithe and lovely blonde knockout Tina Bockrath was born on June 30, 1967 in Dayton, Ohio. Tina was raised by her mother and was a cheerleader in junior high school. Bockrath majored in theatre at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas. She worked at Taco Bell, Wal-Mart, in the mail room for the IRS, and as a flight attendant in Manhattan before her acting and modeling career took off. Tina enrolled in classes at the University of Texas so she could specifically try out for Playboy's "Girls of the Southwest Conference" pictorial in the October, 1988 issue of "Playboy." She was the Playmate of the Month in the May, 1990 issue of the famous men's magazine. Bockrath subsequently appeared in a handful of "Playboy" videos and posed for numerous newsstand special editions. Tina portrayed the sensuous Lillian Tucker in the steamy soft-core film "Totally Exposed" and had a small part in the "Abra Cadaver" episode of the cable TV horror anthology series "Tales from the Crypt." Bockrath married Emmy Award-winning composer Velton Ray Bunch on April 7, 2007. In January, 2008 she traveled to Egypt, thus fulfilling a dream destination that she cited in her "Playboy" Data Sheet. Tina now lives in Beverly Hills, California and studies archeology when she isn't traveling around the world.
