12. Katarina Witt
East Germany gave the world a lot of things. They gave the world Red Riding Hood (this is the beer, not the children’s story by the way). They also gave the world Johann Sebastian Bach. Apparently, he was a composer of music nobody listens to. Finally, they gave the world Katarina Witt.
One of the most heralded figure skaters in the history of the world, Katarina granted the Christmas wish of perverts everywhere in the December 1998 edition of Playboy. Witt says the reason she did this was because she wanted to break this image of figure skaters as dainty little figurines. She made some headway by leading that issue to be only the second one to sell out in Playboy’s history. The cover girl for the other one? Marilyn Monroe.
