Summer Altice

Summer Danielle Altice, born on December 23, 1979, in Fountain Valley, California, is a prominent American fashion model and actress. Named after the 1975 Miss USA, Summer Bartholomew, Altice carved a niche for herself in the fashion world early on. She attended San Diego State University, where she excelled as a volleyball player and earned a spot on the Academic All-WAC team.

Her modeling career took off in 1995 when she won the cover girl contest held by Young and Modern (YM) magazine, which led to her appearing on the cover of the magazine's November issue that same year. Shortly thereafter, she signed with Elite modeling agency, landing prestigious covers for GQ, Maxim, and other men's publications. In 2002, Stuff magazine recognized her allure by ranking her as number 100 in their list of "102 Sexiest Women In The World."

In August 2000, Altice was named Playboy's Playmate of the Month, further solidifying her status in the entertainment industry. She made her film debut in the Playboy video Wet & Wild: Slippery When Wet and later appeared in two additional Playboy productions. Her acting credits include roles in films such as The Scorpion King and Grind, as well as the Showtime series ChromiumBlue.com.

In a unique twist, Altice participated in the reality show Dating in the Dark on August 16, 2010, where she introduced herself as a DJ to keep her modeling background under wraps during the dating process. Her multifaceted career continues to inspire many in the realms of fashion and entertainment.
