Petra Charlotte Verkaik (pronounced PAYT-rah ver-KIKE; born November 4, 1966, in Los Angeles
Verkaik started her own production company in 1995, called Pin-Up Girls, making her the first Playboy model to start her own production company instead of producing videos strictly through Playboy. Pin-Up Girls produced videos and calendars. Starting the company left her $60,000 in debt.[12] In 1997, she was named Playboy Model of the Year.[12] In 2001, the readers of Playboy voted her "the sexiest Playmate of the 1980s."[14] Verkaik made numerous minor movie and television appearances. In the early 1990s, Verkaik had minor roles in Pyrates and Love Potion No. 9. In 1996, Verkaik starred in an episode of Married... with Children. In 1999, Verkaik starred in the science fiction comedy Galaxy Quest, but her role was ultimately cut from the theatrical release.
In January 2002, Verkaik attended the Foothill High School prom in Tustin, California, with a 17-year-old high school student named Toby Hocking. Hocking wrote a college essay, and Verkaik was given it by a friend who told her that he couldn't get a prom date. Verkaik read the college essay and offered to be Hocking's date, which garnered publicity. The headmaster of Foothill High School had no issue with Verkaik being Hocking's date, provided she did not wear anything "strapless or sheer".[13]
