She was featured on the Playboy cover several times and in nude photo layouts in the March 1970, December 1973, and January 1975 issues.
Benton is known for her years as a regular on the country music series Hee Haw, appearing in comic skits with other cast members. She left the program after four seasons to concentrate on a more Hollywood-oriented career. She also starred in the short-lived ABC-TV comedy series Sugar Time! about an aspiring female rock group in 1977."

Wow--so difficult to imagine her being 60.
There's a famous story, possibly apocryphal, about her first date with Hef:
BB: "I've never dated anyone as old as you before."
Hef: "Don't worry--I've never dated anyone as old as you before."
Such a cutie -- I noticed her work when I was in my teens [I even used to watch HEE-HAW]/
Imagine, both of us still in our twenties. How do we do it?
Next to me, she's my favorite Jewish Benton!
You only wish she was next to you.
I feel incredibly old right now.
"She outgrew...brass buckles on her shoes/At twelve, she was filling out her jeans/With a mind young and wild/And a body like the Devil styled/She could make a man do anything..."
Thank you, and I hope I passed the audition.
I have to check with Simon, but I'm pretty sure you passed.
I didn't know her name was Barbara Klein.
You see, you do learn something every day!
Of course, she was in one of Bill's favorite films: Deathstalker.
Jeff
A classic!
Wasn't she also married to Hef for a while?
Yes. That Hef's had quite a life.
She was one of my childhood crushes! Big time!!!
