Tamara Kapitas Bio

February 17, 1958 / Aquarius / Age 68

Tamara Kapitas is a British-born Penthouse model, musician, and actress. She was born Carole Raphaelle Davis on February 17, 1958 in London, United Kingdom.

Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared as Carole Davis.

Tamara Kapitas was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in January 1980, stepping into the spotlight at just 21 years old. Her measurements are 37-24-36. Tamara Kapitas has charming brown eyes, silky black hair, and natural breasts.

At the dawn of a new decade Tamara Kapitas slipped into the spotlight with cosmopolitan swagger — a passport and a promise. She arrived as a proposition: elegant, restless, fabulously mobile, a glamour that travels light and leaves a trail of photographs, headlines and a career that refused to be polite.

Camera-ready and multilingual, she balanced intellect with flash. Born to a French mother and an American father, she grew up in England, Scotland, Hawaii, France, Italy and Thailand before settling in New York City as a teenager. Trilingual and academically driven, she studied Chinese Studies and Political Science at the City University of New York and honed her craft at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute.

Her resume reads like a travelogue of glamour. As Tamara she modeled for Penthouse and Playboy, posed for La Perla and Playtex, and graced hundreds of romance novel covers and commercials for Pepsi and Miller Beer. Her films range from the 1981 horror sequel Piranha II and The Flamingo Kid to Mannequin, where she played Roxie Shield, with later credits including The Shrimp on the Barbie and If Looks Could Kill; TV guest turns include The A‑Team, Star Trek: Voyager, Sex and the City and Angel. In 1989 she signed with Warner Brothers Records; Heart of Gold, produced by Nile Rodgers, and the single Serious Money became a dance hit whose video reached number one on BET. She toured internationally, wrote 'Slow Love' for Prince's Sign O' the Times (later recording it herself), and worked with Atlantic Records and Sony France.

Her pen found other lives — a script purchased by DreamWorks, animated projects with Klasky-Scupo and the novel The Diary of Jinky, Dog of a Hollywood Wife — while journalism and advocacy became a second act: she wrote as an investigative columnist on animal welfare and appeared on CNN. Today she is West Coast Director of the Companion Animal Protection Society, leading investigations into puppy mills in Los Angeles. Her January 1980 Penthouse pictorial was the opening flourish; what follows is a portrait of reinvention: glamorous, purposeful and defiantly modern.
