Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. After three lean years, she finally made her acting debut in the DVD comedy "Malibu Spring Break".After firmly positioning herself for some time as an 'anti-nudity model', she signalled that she had renounced this stance when "
Playboy " unveiled her as itsPlaymate of the Month for August 2004.Lastra however soon indicated she was not intending to go in the nude again and confirmed her decision shortly after
Tiffany Fallon was chosen forPlaymate of the Year .Current ventures
She is currently one of the models on the popular
NBC game show, "Deal or No Deal". When the show began, she held case #26 and then #8, but now she holds case #14. In April 2006, Lastra and the other 25 models from "Deal or No Deal" were listed as a whole in "People" magazine's annual 100 Most Beautiful People.She also is working for
