Oregon State University student and model Sara Jean Underwood was voted the July 2006 Playboy Playmate of the Month and Playmate of the Year for 2007. Underwood's first appearance in Playboy was in the October 2005 issue, in which she was featured wearing only body paint on the cover and in the football-themed Girls of the Pac 10 pictorial.

Born in Portland, Oregon, Underwood graduated from Scappoose High School in 2002 and attended Oregon State University. After appearing in the October 2005 Girls of the Pac 10 pictorial, she next was featured in the July 2006 issue as Playmate of the Month. Playboy later selected Underwood as its Playmate of the Year for 2007. Underwood ranks 25th on the list of "25 Hottest Playboy Celebrities."

Prior to the July 2006 issue, Underwood was featured in episode 2 of E! Network's The Girls Next Door as a Playmate hoping to have her test shoot taken at Playboy Studio West. She has subsequently appeared in several additional The Girls Next Door episodes.

In response to Underwood receiving the 2007 Playmate of the Year title, a group of students from her alma mater’s Women’s Studies department decided to celebrate her accomplishment, and recognize a fellow OSU Beaver. On June 7, 2007, the students hung a poster of Underwood outside of Bexel Hall. The poster, coordinating with the “Achievement” theme of other posters hung around the campus, read "Sara Jean: First OSU Beaver Playmate of the Year, Playboy June '07, OSU Centerfold, People, Ideas, Innovation." Campus officials, however did not see the poster as a proper fit, and it was removed within a few hours of going up.http://www.saraunderwood.net/sara-underwood-biography.php

"I am an extremely private and shy person. I know that sounds like a big fat lie since I have recently exposed myself on the pages of Playboy for all of the world to see. However it is the truth, and Playboy was an exhilarating way for me to step outside the box and feel completely alive."
