When Stacey Grenrock Woods posed for a Playboy photographer back in 1989 and didn't wind up in the magazine, she moved on with her life, eventually becoming a Daily Show correspondent, then landing a recurring role on Arrested Development. But when galleys of her memoir, I, California: The Occasional History of a Child Actress/Tap Dancer/Record Store Clerk/Thai Waitress/Playboy Reject/Nightclub Booker/Daily Show Correspondent/Sex Columnist/Recurring Character and Whatever Else, started floating around, a staffer at the magazine decided to delve into the archives, and the photo at left (without the book jacket) has now wound up in the July issue. Turns out she really did look like, as she described the shoot in her memoir, "a hausfrau in a Benny Hill sketch."

The publicity team at Scribner is having fun with the new development, crossing "Playboy Reject" off on all the press releases they send out for the book's imminent release. (What, you thought I'd make a "book hot" joke here? Nah, we'll leave that for some other website with more experience working that territory...)
