Lucy Barbie
Barbi Benton
Career
She was featured several times on the Playboy cover and in nude photo layouts in March 1970, December 1973 and January 1975 problems.
Benton is known for her years as a regular on the country music series Hee Haw, 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 ambitious female rock group in 1977.
Benton was also an artist with some success. Her 1975 record, "brass buckles," was a top five hit on the Billboard country singles chart. Benton has recorded eight albums, the last of which he personally produced in 1979. She also composed the songs, she sang and played piano. One of her better known songs was "Is not That Just The Way "in 1976, which was also a big hit for Lutricia McNeal in 1996, and was recorded by Dutch singer Patricia Paay titled Poor Jeremy in 1977.
Family
Benton married George Gradow, a successful real estate developer on October 14, 1979. The couple has two children, Alexander Benton Gradow (August 23, 1986) and a daughter, Ariana (b. 1988). For many years, they split their time between their home in Aspen, Colorado and Los Angeles. On April 28, 2006, Gradow was sentenced to 15 months in prison after pleading guilty to tax fraud and the change in the financial documents in an attempt to deceive the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
