Amanda (Missy) Hodges Cleveland (born December 25, 1959 in Jackson, Mississippi - August 14, 2001 in Yazoo City, Mississippi) was an American model and actress. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the April 1979 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Mario Casilli.

Missy was discovered by Playboy through the magazine's 25th Anniversary Great Playmate Hunt, a contest she entered after being prodded by her mother. With her petite, "golden girl" look, she appeared in the films Cheech and Chong's Next Movie, Let's Do It! and True Confessions. Her most famous role is probably as the naked girl in the shower at the beginning of Brian De Palma's Blow Out.

Missy was with the Playboy model agency in Los Angeles in the 80s, and appeared in a number of publications. Robert E. Fleming directed and photographed a number of her commercial print projects.. After her acting career slowed down, she moved to Florida and Canada before settling back in Mississippi, where she found work at a property management firm and got married. She died on August 14, 2001.
