Paula Ann Wood Bio

March 17, 1964 / Pisces / Age 61

Paula Ann Wood is an American-born Penthouse model, glamour model, singer, and actress, born on March 17, 1964 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States. Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared under the names Isabelle Duncan, Smiler Murphy, Marina Leitao or Paula Wood, each marking a distinct chapter in her evolving on-camera persona.

Paula Ann Wood was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in March 1984, stepping into the spotlight at just 19 years old. With her statuesque 36-24-36 figure, seductive blue eyes, silky black hair, and natural breasts, Paula Ann balances youthful curiosity with a growing confidence, creating an allure that feels both innocent and daring.

Paula Ann Wood has the kind of presence that makes people look twice — and she knows it. Photographed by Stephen Hicks, Paula stepped into the spotlight with a playful confidence and a spark that felt unmistakably real. She brought a sense of spontaneity to every frame, the kind of woman equally comfortable being watched and doing a little watching herself.

Self-described as an “ice eye,” Paula loved observing people — studying gestures, collecting impressions, turning everyday moments into stories. That curiosity translated effortlessly to the camera, where she balanced openness with a hint of mischief. She wasn’t shy about her femininity or her curves, believing beauty should be lived in rather than hidden away.

Beyond the glamour, Paula carried a grounded charm. A singer at heart, she once passed on a world tour opportunity to finish high school, proof that ambition and discipline sat comfortably alongside her sensual side. Romantic and loyal, she spoke warmly about love and connection, revealing a softer edge beneath her confident exterior.

By the time Penthouse introduced her to readers, Paula was already building momentum — a Miss California finalist with an unmistakable glow of someone coming into her own. Titles may have made her feel secure, but it was her natural warmth, wit, and effortless allure that truly made her unforgettable.
