Kathleen Ann Shower[1](born March 8, 1953) is an American model and actress. Known as Kathy Shower she is Playboy's Playmate of the Month for May 1985 and Playmate of the Year for 1986.

At the time — she already was a mother of two young daughters, Melonie (then 6) and Mindy (then 9) — she became the oldest PMOY to date at the age of 33, a distinction she took from Miss August 1970 and PMOY for 1971, Sharon Clark. Kathy's among only a few other women who were Playmates in their 30's, of whom Rebecca Ramos — 35 at the time of her centerfold appearance in January 2003 — remains the oldest Playmate of the Month so far.

Following Playboy, Shower had an acting career mainly within the action adventure (American Kickboxer 2, The Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck) & erotic thriller genres (Boundaries, LA Goddess and Velvet Dreams). Shower also made numerous appearances within mainstream TV, guest starring in episodes of Knight Rider, Simon & Simon and a continuing role in Santa Barbara. She has since retired from acting and has lived in Spain for more than a decade.
