Susie Scott

Acting

Former Playboy Playmate of the Month (May 1983) and (briefly) an actress, Susie has spent the past several decades as a patron savior for scores of abandoned Haitian babies. She founded the Mercy and Sharing Foundation, an Aspen, Colorado-based charity that provides shelter, schooling and health care to thousands of children from the poorest slums of Haiti. The charity, funded mostly through private donors, runs six schools, three orphanages, an abandoned-baby ward and a cervical cancer screening center. Because of her charitable work, she was made an honorary Haitian citizen and, in 2004, was invited to Buckingham Palace to receive the Rose Award, presented by the foundation established to further Princess Diana's commitment to the poor.
