Sparkle Plenty, a Playboy bunny with a comic strip name who made national headlines when she entered a hotly contested congressional race {Democratic primary} in New Mexico, died June 19. She was 77.

Plenty had been in declining health. She battled lupus for most of her adult life and had heart surgery a couple of years ago.

“I think everything just caught up with her,” said Linda Durham, a close friend who used to own a local gallery.

Born Cheryl Boone, Plenty grew up in Roselle Park, N.J., before moving to New York in the early 1960s, where she met Durham, who also worked as a Playboy bunny.

Hard to believe that Playboy bunnies... are in their 60s, 70s, and 80s now.
