Cynthia Lynn Wood (born September 25, 1950 in Burbank, California) is an American model and actress. She is the daughter of Harold and Erma Wood. She was chosen as Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month in February 1973, and the 1974 Playmate of the Year. Her centerfold was photographed by Pompeo Posar.
Cyndi Wood, as she is usually called, came from a show business family — her father was a recording executive, her mother an actress. She attended Los Angeles City College and Los Angeles Valley College as a music major but shifted her emphasis to theater before ultimately dropping out in 1971. She designed and sewed her clothing. One decade later Wood posed nude again in a close approximation of her original centerfold for the April 1984 Playboy pictorial "Playmates Forever! part Two."
Wood's most prominent acting role was that of the fictional Playmate of the Year in Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam War epic Apocalypse Now. While her role in the original 1979 release of the film was very brief, it was greatly expanded for the "Redux" re-release in 2001. She has also kept up her love of music and singing, and served as Casting Agent for the director Michael Lesner. Eventually she pursued a Ph.D. in psychology with the goal of helping emotionally disturbed children.[citation needed]
