Marianne Gravatte (born December 13, 1959 in Hollywood, California) is an American model and actress. She was chosen as Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the October 1982 issue, then as the 1983 Playmate of the Year. Her original pictorial was photographed by Richard Fegley.
After being noticed in Playboy magazine by Ratt band member Stephen Pearcy, Gravatte appeared in the video for the band's song Lay It Down. She was also on the cover of the band's second album, Invasion of Your Privacy, which was released in 1985.
She posed for Playboy again for the April 1994 "Playmate Revisited" feature.
Gravatte left modeling and now, with her husband, runs a sports bar. She is the mother of three children.
