1968

Stacy Leigh Arthur (née Darland, June 4, 1968 – April 5, 2019) was an American model and actress.

Stacy Leigh Darland was born in Naperville, Illinois on June 4, 1968.

1990

Arthur was also Mrs. Ohio for the 1990 Mrs. America contest.

1991

She was chosen as Playboy's Playmate of the Month for January, 1991.

In addition to her nude pictorial and centerfold in that issue, Arthur was featured on the cover, wearing a pageant-style banner that said "Miss January 1991."

She continued working for Playboy, appearing in numerous Playboy videos.

Arthur's 36-year-old husband, James Alan Arthur, was the victim of a murder-suicide by a fan named James Lindberg on October 29, 1991.

Lindberg shot and killed him on a street in Bellefontaine, Ohio, where the family lived, and then killed himself.

The event was the subject of the first episode of the first season of The Playboy Murders titled "All That Glitters" that aired January 30, 2023.

She claimed two security guards and a butler drugged, then raped and sodomized her on October 6, 1991, at the Playboy Mansion.

Playboy severed its ties with Arthur after she appeared on two nationally televised shows where she publicly declared her rape at the Playboy Mansion.

A deputy district attorney opined that there were too many inconsistencies in Arthur's statements while there were no inconsistencies in statements given by the three employees who claimed the sex was consensual.

The employees who had engaged in sex with Arthur were fired because they violated company policy by having sex during working hours.

Arthur and her husband, James Arthur, had three children from prior marriages.

1992

In 1992, Arthur filed a $70 million lawsuit against Playboy and others alleging she was raped and sodomized by three Playboy employees and that inaction by the magazine led to the death of her husband.

2019

She died on April 5, 2019, at the age of 50.
