India Allen (born India Juliana Orban on June 1, 1965 in Portsmouth,
Virginia) is an American actress and model. Allen appeared as a
centerfold in the December 1987 issue of Playboy magazine and was
subsequently named Playmate of the Year in 1988.Allen was initially
encouraged by her mother when she turned eighteen to pursue modeling
and to try out for Playboy, but she was not interested. The suggestion
came up again a few years later when her casting agent sent her to do
a small role in a short film parody of Beverly Hills Cop II, in a role
as a Playmate in the Playboy Mansion West scene. On the set of the
film, Allen met Monique St. Pierre, Playboy's Playmate of the Year in
1979. Allen was surprised when one of the film's producers mentioned
that St. Pierre was a Playmate and the two became friends. After
looking through Allen's portfolio of modeling assignments, St. Pierre
took her to Playboy's West Coast photo studios on Sunset Boulevard for
test shots.After her first pictorial, Allen continued to act and also
appeared in a series of Playboy videos.
