Playboy January 1990

PLAYBOY Playboy rings in the new year by paying reverence to the sultry, seductive Joan Severance. Our cover was produced by George Newell, styled by Daryl Binder and shot by Photographer Mark Abrahams. Credit for Joan's well-coifed hair goes to Peter Savic for Cloutier; for her make-up, to Ken Powell for George Newell, Inc., Los Angeles. Inside sources tell us the Rabbit is utterly charmed by Joan's beauty, and we can't blame him one bit! 3 PLAYBILL 11 DEAR PLAYBOY 15 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 32 SPORTS DAN JENKINS 33 MEN by ASA BABER 35 WOMEN by CYNTHIA HEIMEL 37 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 41 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 51 REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK DRUGS: ANOTHER WRONG WAR—opinion ROBERT SCHEER 55 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: TOM CRUISE—candid conversation 72 DECADE MANIA 76 TRIUMPHANT TED—playboy profile JOSHUA HAMMER 78 MONEY-MAD MIKE—playboy profile MARK HOSENBALL 80 WE PREDICT . . .
