Career

She was a mother at the time of her centerfold, and her kids were featured in a photo in her layout, but they were identified as swimming school students.

After her Playmate work, Parks went on to a long career as a model and actress, mostly in TV commercials.

Death
Parks died of heart failure while on vacation in Hawai'i, at the age of 66.
