Cody Renee

Born on December 2, 1988, in Marion, Illinois, Cody Renee entered the modeling world around age 19. Her career in adult-adjacent modeling was relatively brief, spanning from 2008 to 2012, but it established a foundation for what became a more expansive career in entertainment.

Playboy and Modeling Career

Cody Renee's modeling work centered largely on Playboy. She was named Playboy Coed of the Week for May 5, 2011, and appeared in the Playboy Plus Cyber Club feature "Student Bodies," which included two pictorials. Over the course of her modeling career, she posed for three magazine covers and three photosets before stepping away from that side of the industry in 2012.

Transition to Acting

After retiring from modeling, Cody Renee shifted her focus to film acting. Her screen debut came in a notable way: she played the corpse in a necromancy sequence alongside Jena Malone in Nicolas Winding Refn's "The Neon Demon," a film that developed a cult following after its 2016 release. A string of roles in which her characters met violent ends led friends to give her the nickname "best damn dead girl in Hollywood."

Her most prominent film credit came with "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie," the 2019 Netflix film directed by Vince Gilligan, where she appeared alongside Aaron Paul. She also took on the role of the central villain in "Girl Lost: A Hollywood Story," an Amazon-distributed drama. These roles marked a shift from her earlier pattern of playing victims to taking on more active, complex characters.

Profile

Standing at 5'2" with a slim build, blonde hair, and blue eyes, Cody Renee measures 32C-24-32. She has a nose piercing on her left side and no tattoos. As a petite performer, her physical profile is consistent with the modeling work that launched her public career. Her credits also include work as a producer, and she maintains a presence on social media and content platforms.

Career Context

Cody Renee's trajectory is somewhat unusual in that her modeling career served as a brief early chapter rather than a defining one. The four years she spent in that space gave way to a longer and more visible run in film. She is now primarily recognized as an actress rather than a former Playboy model, a transition that relatively few performers in that space manage to make with comparable visibility.
