Jeane Manson, born Jean Manson, (born October 1, 1950 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American model, singer and actress. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the August 1974 issue. (The pictorial opens with her nude in the ocean while lying in the sand.) Her centerfold was photographed by Dwight Hooker.
Jean's father was a writer; her mother was a signer. She attended The American School in Mexico, where she spent much of her childhood, and graduated from Orange Coast College in California with an associate degree in music. She also studied at the legendary Actor's Studio with Lee Strasberg.
She had a few film roles before she was a Playmate, but her entertainment career took a major turn forward when she moved to France soon after she appeared in Playboy. Performing under the name Jeane Manson, she is a major recording star in Europe, with record sales exceeding 20 million copies. Her albums have covered several genres, from pop to gospel and country. Jean also has hosted several television specials in France and had a regular role on the longrunning primetime soap Riviera. She represented Luxembourg in the 1979 Eurovision Song Contest in Jerusalem, achieving 13th place for her song J'ai deja vu ça dans tes yeux.
