Jacklyn Zeman has been playing Nurse Bobbie on “General Hospital” since 1977. Before that, she had a short-lived role on another ABC soap, “One Life to Live,” where she played Lana McClain. However, life before becoming a soap star was thrilling for Zeman because a dream came true when she was just out of high school. She became a Playboy Bunny.
Zeman reflected on her past life working for Playboy founder Hugh Hefner with TV Insider in 2017 as she celebrated 40 years playing Nurse Bobbie Spencer on “GH.” She had nothing but good things to say about that time in her life in her late teens.
“I loved that job! And if I hadn’t become an actress I’d probably still be working for Mr. Hefner’s corporation doing something or other,” Zeman told TV Insider. “I was the youngest bunny they’d ever hired. I was right out of high school and had been doing runway modeling and working on the side as a private detective.”
