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.

on her father's side of the family.

(Ok... obscure James Bond joke... and in probably poor taste).

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