Sara Jean Underwood Named 2007 Playmate of the Year

LOS ANGELES — Portland, Ore., native Sara Jean Underwood, 23, was named Playboy's 2007 Playmate of the Year at a luncheon at the Playboy Mansion on May 3. She received $100,000 and a 2007 Mini Cooper S convertible. She will make her first public appearance as Playmate of the Year today at a pre-Kentucky Derby party in Louisville, Ky.

Underwood is featured in an eight-page nude pictorial in Playboy's June issue, available on newsstands today, and stars in the DVD release, "Video Centerfold: 2007 Playmate of the Year Sara Jean Underwood," which streets June 19.

While a business major at Oregon State University, Underwood first appeared in Playboy in the "Girls of the Pac 10" feature in October 2005. She also appeared on the cover, "wearing" a painted-on Oregon State jersey. She was selected as the July 2006 Playmate and has been featured in episodes of the reality show "The Girls Next Door," which is set at the Playboy Mansion.

Underwood is the first Miss July to become Playmate of the Year since Playboy named its first Playmate of the Year, Ellen Stratton, in 1960.
