She was the best of the best and while in college with a passel of other Vietnam Veterans
we admired her beauty and grace. It is a shame that she wasn't better appreciated by Mr.
Hefner and probably should still be with him, but alas the life of a hedonists does not
allow for such relationships. She is certainly underappreciated and still a beautiful
woman. Scott <marinearchitect@live.com>

Hi Per, Haven't written to you for a while. Your Barbi Site is better than ever. I hope
you are still enjoying the live tape I made for you. Years ago when I met Barbi she had
an assistant who was also gorgeous. This was in the mid 70's. Do you know what her name
was? Keep up the good work and thanks for getting me in touch with Greg Slusher. Brian Elliott <belliottx@aol.com>

Comment: Nice to hear from you, Brian! Yes, I am still enjoying your recording!
Unfortunately I don't know the name of the assistant. I have been trying to get in
contact with Barbi on Facebook, but she never replies... /Per
I met Ms. Benton around 1974 or 1975 (I'm not sure which) when I was about 4 or 5 yrs old.
I was at the Pecatonica fairgrounds with my parents and had been given permission to get
a photo as a momento of the day. I picked one of her sitting on some bales of hay in a
cowboy outfit. Anyway she happened to be passing by at the time and not only did she
autograph the photo for me, but I got to sit in her lap for a few minutes. Of course
back then I knew nothing about Playboy magazine. She was just a nice and pretty lady
to me. lol. Charles Brentner <cbrentner@hotmail.com>

I first saw Barbi on the TV program "McCloud". She was such a doll and the song she sung
on the program made me fall in love with her.
Very nice site. Larry <Larry@Welsh-and-Sons.com>

Wow, you really are a Barbi Benton fan! As you can see, my dad is also a fan and named
me after Barbi. I was born on December the 28th. I remember watching her on heehaw when
I was growing up... Along with a bunch more of my favorites from back in the day.
That's all I really have... I can share with you that it sometimes wasn't easy with a
name like Barbi growing up...and sometimes it was very easy. Barbi Robbins <barbar254@yahoo.com>

Barbi was an assistant to my dad Lon Branson in the late 60's. He was very fond
of her. Is there any way to get in touch with her? Morris Branson <mobeme53@gmail.com>

OH MY GOD!! Great Job. I always loved her on "Fantasy Island" as well as the "Love Boat".
I wrote to her when I was a kid in the early 80's asking for an autograph. I still have
the autograph she sent me back then, in the original frame (I kept it in mint condition)
I bought back then. I met her here in vegas a few times now, and let me tell you, she
still looks stunning. It was beyond a dream to have a photo taken with her. The one time
I knew she was going to be at Caesars Palace and brought the photo she sent me back in
1983. She was impressed and grateful that I kept it all these years. So just know there
are several out here that think she was the Goddess of the 70s and 80s, just like you... Joseph

I also grew up in Sacramento so Barbi and I crossed paths in two beauty contests... One
was Miss Sacramento County and the other was Miss Sacramento. She was very nice and very
focused... Wonder if anyone has photos from those pagents. One of them was poolside at
the Sacramento Inn. Michele Celli <chefmichele1@ymail.com>

To quote you - "I believe that mink are raised for being turned into fur coats",
are you kidding - they live a life of misery in a wire cage and have an electric probe
stuck up their bum to kill them so that the pelt doesn't spoil - check out some Youtube

She had to be the quintessential "Playboy" bunny; I know that may be a shallow
statement to a great extent but at that time she was the fantasy girl that no guy
could ever imagine being with. Very glad to know that she didn't end up being with
that silly old geezer Hefner. Ben <Benjaminbordenproject>

Hej Per!
Peter heter jag. Tycker om Barbi Benton. Hört henne via youtube och lyssnat på någon skiva.
Gillar starkt låten "Something New". :) Den är underbar.
Jag föddes -86 så jag fanns inte när hon var aktuell.
Det är synd.
Finns hon utgiven på vanliga CD? Isåfall skulle det vara roligt. Har ingen gammal spelare.
Ta hand om dig!

Hej Per, jag var på Liseberg 1978, 20 augusti, och träffade denna dam efter konserten och
fick autografen och hon höll mig i handen. Har bilder från ok tidningen och finska tidningar

My husband shares the exact birth date of Barbi Benton. He would be thrilled to recieve
an autographed picture of her, maybe one of her posters. Is that possible? I would love
to give him that for his 6oth birthday on january 28.
Any possibility? Star <msvondrell@yahoo.com>

I am interested in trying to get some of Barbi's albums. I love to hear her sing.
If you can be of any help I would appreciate it. Also I think your website for her is cool. Karen Walton <karenguess@msn.com>

Comment: Thanks for your kind words, Karen! The best source for Barbi's LPs is eBay.
The LPs, and singles too, are fairly often seen there. Alas, her records have not
been released on CD, only on vinyl. /Per
Barbi's birthday is coming up in a few weeks. Jan 28th. The big 60. Happy Birthday!!!!!!! Bob <toprjf739@cox.net>
