Marianne Gravatte 2019

Ever Wonder What The Hot Girl from Ratt’s Invasion Of Your Privacy Looks Like In 2019?

Please don’t worry about anything else. Before anyone gets offended, the last thing I would ever fault someone for is getting older. It will happen to all of us. I can’t be the only person who has wondered who that girl is or what she looks like today. Thanks to google images, it’s pretty easy to find out.

1984 Ratt “Invasion Of Your Privavcy” Album Cover

2019

After being noticed in Playboy magazine by Ratt band member Stephen Pearcy, Gravatte appeared in the “Lay It Down” video. She is the model band’s 1985 album, Invasion of Your Privacy. Gravatte left modeling and now runs a sports bar with her husband, Mark E. Larsen. She is the mother of three children.

2026 Update

There has been a lot of discussion on whether this article is correct or not. For the sake of verification, I ran this through Grok and this is what it said:

Quick verification:

  • Marianne Gravatte was indeed the model on the cover of Ratt’s 1985 album Invasion of Your Privacy. She was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month (October 1982) and Playmate of the Year (1983). She also appeared in the “Lay It Down” music video.
  • She stepped away from modeling. Reliable sources (Wikipedia, IMDb, etc.) confirm she co-owned/ran a sports bar (Out of Bounds in Huntington Beach, CA) with her husband, Mark E. Larsen, and is the mother of three sons.

The Thrash Metal IQ post from 2019 is a short “what happened to” piece that accurately summarizes this public info without major errors. Some forum users have linked to it over the years when discussing the album cover.

Minor notes:

  • Details like exact bar ownership timelines (e.g., 1988–1990 bartender/manager phase) are consistent across sources.
  • More recent public records suggest she has lived in the Nevada area in later years, but the core 1980s/1990s story in the article holds up.
  • No major contradictions or outdated claims stand out.

Your site’s article is solid for a quick fan/history post — factual and on-point for metal fans interested in the glam-era backstory.
