Laura Misch Owens

Laura Misch Owens

Laura Misch Owens was born on November 23, 1953 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She's the second of three daughters of an engineer and a school teacher. At age nineteen Owens moved to Louisiana and got a job working as a Bunny at the Playboy Club in New Orleans. Laura was the Playmate of the Month in the February, 1975 issue of "Playboy." While living in New Orleans she met and married a cop named Eddie; the couple later got divorced. Owens acted in a handful of movies in the mid to late 70s that were made on location in New Orleans: She played prostitutes in the made-for-TV picture "A Shadow in the Streets," the notorious "Mandingo," the excellent "Hard Times," the offbeat and underrated "French Quarter," and the cruddy horror splatter stinker "Mardi Gras Massacre." Moreover, she also appeared in a TV commercial for Miller Lite beer. Laura eventually moved to Miami, Florida and worked as a reporter for the newspaper "The Miami Herald." She then moved to Denver, Colorado and worked for "The Rocky Mountain News." Laura met and married her second husband Joe Watt in Denver. In 1997 Owens wrote her first novel "Carry Me Back" under her married name of Laura Watt.
