Stacy Leigh Arthur (born June 4, 1968 in Naperville, Illinois) is an American model and actress. 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 (and little else) that said "Miss January 1991." She continued working for Playboy, appearing in numerous Playboy videos.
Stacy was also Mrs. Ohio for the 1990 Mrs. America contest.
Mrs. Arthur's husband, Jim, was the victim of a murder-suicide by a fan named James Lindberg shortly after Mrs. Arthur's appearance in Playboy. According to news reports, Lindberg had been a regular caller to a 900 number sponsored by Playboy that allowed fans to chat with their favorite Playmates, with both Playboy and the Playmate receiving a portion of the proceeds. Lindberg was a regular caller to Mrs. Arthur, racking up bills in the thousands of dollars. Although witnesses who heard Mrs. Arthur speak on the phone with Mr. Lindberg stated that she never said anything out of the ordinary, during these calls Mr. Lindberg developed an obsession that Mrs. Arthur's husband was abusing her. Mr. Lindberg thereafter tracked Mr. Arthur down, murdered him, and then turned his gun on himself in a parking lot behind a building she owned in Bellefontaine, Ohio.
