Accompanied
by photos from the same shoot as those in the May 2000 issue
of the US edition of MAXIM, film Buffy Kristy
Swanson was featured in the March 2001 issue of LATER
(actually the feature is pretty similar as well)
You can find more pictures of Kristy on MAXIM USA's
website - some nudity
but probably less than you'd find in the average red top tabloid
.

The
original Buffy tells why blondes have more fun.
Sometimes
you don't have to ask where a girl's from. When LATER
saw stunning actress Kristy Swanson being interviewed on American
TV a few years back, we were transfixed. The word 'bombshell'
had been lying around unused since the 1950s, but here was a
girl for whom it would have to be dusted off. Then the
interviewer asked her if she'd enjoyed riding horses in THE
PHANTOM.
Call it a hunch, but something in her reply told us she hailed
from California:
"It
was a big rush. Riding on the back of that horse was not
the easiest thing in the world because we were in Thailand and
it was really hot, and the horse was sweating and I wasn't sitting
on a saddle, the Phantom was sitting on a saddle, I was just
on the back on the horse's hair, and he's sweating and I'm sliding
around trying to hang on. I didn't really have any footing,
so I had to grip my thighs in and hold on for dear life, but
my biggest concern was not really falling off, like, it's really
muddy there too, so the horse is really having a hard time running
in this mud and falling off and spraining my ankle and getting
dirty was not my biggest problem, my problem was a wolf behind
me."
This
girl, we like.
As
a small child, Orange County-born Kristy cajoled her parents
(both PE teachers) into sending her snapshot to a talent agency
in Los Angeles, an act that immediately saw her snapped up for
a career in commercials. Her first was for dolls' houses
at the age of nine. From adverts, she went on to parts
in KNOT'S
LANDING,
FERRIS
BUELLER'S DAY OFF,
PRETTY
IN PINK
and HOT
SHOTS,
but never played the traditional bimbo role.
"I've
been fortunate - I haven't been stuck in one role," Kristy
says. "I've played the girl you bring home to Mom,
the killer, the hooker, the bitch." Her big break
came in 1992 with BUFFY
THE VAMPIRE SLAYER,
in which Kristy took noticeable pleasure in leaping about, breasts
a-bouncing, kicking merry hell out of the undead.
Amazingly,
perma-smiling Kristy doesn't even have a chip on her shoulder
about the success of the BUFFY
spin-off series, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar instead of her.
"I was just kind of sad they didn't ask me to be a technical
consultant," she breezes. She thinks she'd win in
a fight between her and the new Buffy, though. "Me
or Gellar? I would win, because I'm one pillow-fighting
badass."
Before
Buffy, Kristy was a different kind of slayer in Wes Craven's
DEADLY
FRIEND.
The first words said about her in that movie are "Nice
tits." She agrees.
"I
think I'm OK in that department," she says. "It's
not like they're dragging at my knees. If someone says,
'Show me your tits,' I don't have to lift up my skirt."
Clearly,
Kristy's far from a shrinking violent. In fact, the irresponsible
30-year-old possesses a rock'n'roll attitude that shows up the
likes of Gwyneth Paltrow for the abstemious stick-insects they
really are. The first time she had sex was on a waterbed
at her boyfriend's house, while his parents were in the next
room. She enjoys a fine wine and a good cigar, she's gone
out with half the young men in Beverly Hills and she truly enjoyed
the lesbian kiss with Jennifer Connelly in 1995's HIGHER
LEARNING.
In October last year, she was fined $500 after driving around
Los Angeles with three times the legal amount of alcohol in
her bloodstream. She laughs the incident off: "I
was pulled over by an unmarked vehicle and the officer was in
plain clothes. He said he was a cop and wanted my licence.
I was curious as to if he was a cop...so I put the pedal to
the metal and took off. He chased me! I didn't think
he was a cop but he was!"
Kristy
brings the same devil-may-care attitude to appearing half-naked
on the pages of a men's magazine. "I've never done
a nude scene in any of my movies, so these photos are the farthest
I've ever gone with being so revealing," she says.
We're too polite to point out that they're the farthest any
famous actress has gone on our pages. Never have blonde
hair, perfect curves and a sunny disposition been so conveniently
packaged in a single girl. America, we can only say thank
you. BACK
