Career

After the Canadian wish-fulfillment TV series Thrill of a Lifetime arranged for her to pose for Hugh Hefner's Playboy, she was chosen to be the Playmate of the Month for the November 1981 issue and eventually the Playmate of the Year for 1982. Since then, Tweed has primarily acted in TV series such as the HBO comedy 1st and Ten, the prime-time soap opera Falcon Crest and guest appearances on Frasier, as well as B movies. Tweed also appeared in an episode of The Dukes of Hazzard in the seventh and final season. In 1985, she landed a role on Days of our Lives as Savannah Wilder. She remained with the show until 1987.

Her first major theatrical film appearance was in the teen sex comedy Hot Dog... The Movie in 1984. Since then, Tweed has appeared in over 60 films, including Detroit Rock City, produced by Gene Simmons in 1999.

She occasionally acts with her younger sister, Tracy Tweed, and has also appeared in Playboy photo spreads.

In 2006 Tweed authored an autobiography, Kiss and Tell, published by Phoenix Press.3

Personal life

After a brief relationship with Hugh Hefner (which coincided with her Playmate appearances and being named 1982 Playmate of the Year), Tweed has lived with Gene Simmons of Kiss since 1985. Their two children are Nicholas (born 22 January 1989) and Sophie (born 7 July 1992). The family members star in a reality television show on A&E entitled Gene Simmons Family Jewels4. She also has a younger sister, Tracy (born 10 May 1965), who is an actress.
