My Take
My take on Karen McDougal is that she deserves to be seen as more than a footnote in someone else's story. Born in small-town Indiana and crowned Playmate of the Year in 1998, she reached the top of a fiercely competitive industry through real ambition and discipline. What interests me most is the gap between how she is often discussed and who she actually is: a woman who studied elementary education at Ferris State before building a public career on her own terms. I admire people whose narratives get hijacked yet who keep their composure. I would rather remember her presence and resolve than the gossip surrounding her.
