Neriah Davis (born October 12, 1972) is an American model and actress. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its March 1994 issue.

Early life and career

Davis was born in Van Nuys, California and grew up in a commune with no electricity in Northern California's Sierra Nevada mountains. She has two sisters and a brother; she described her parents as well-meaning hippies. She graduated from Bret Harte High School in Angels Camp, where she was an accomplished runner. After high school, she moved to Santa Rosa, California and attended a junior college. When she was 17, she left the commune and went to live in Los Angeles. She quickly found modeling and acting work, including several swim-wear magazines. The second week that Davis was in L.A., she landed her first acting role as "Rita" in The Bikini Carwash Company, in which she was credited as Neriah Napaul. This led to a small part in Meatballs IV. While working on a photo shoot with Dominic Petruzzi, he asked if he could send some of her shots to Playboy. Davis immediately agreed, and shortly thereafter, she was a Playmate.^[1]

Since being in Playboy, Davis has been very busy with modeling and acting projects, including roles on Baywatch, Married... with Children, and Suddenly Susan. She modeled for lingerie company Frederick's of Hollywood, along with fellow Playboy Playmate Nikki Schieler. She also maintains her official website and lives in Santa Monica, California. Davis was the St. Pauli Girl for 2001.^[2]

Personal life

Davis is good friends with fellow model Brooke Burke. Burke not only had Davis make numerous guest appearances on her show Wild On, she even named her daughter Neriah after her.^[3]
