Lithe and lovely blonde knockout Tina Bockrath is a former American nude model and actress. She was chosen as the Playboy Playmate of the Month for May 1990 and has appeared in numerous Playboy videos. Bockrath was the final Playmate of the Month photographed by Pompeo Posar.

Bockrath was born on June 30, 1967 in Dayton, Ohio. She was raised by her mother, and was a cheerleader in junior high school. Bockrath majored in theatre at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas. She also worked at Taco Bell, Wal-Mart, in the mail room for the IRS, and as a flight attendant in Manhattan before her acting and modeling career took off.

Tina enrolled in classes at the University of Texas so she could specifically try out for Playboy's "Girls of the Southwest Conference" pictorial in the October 1988 issue of "Playboy." She was then Playmate of the Month in the May 1990 issue. Bockrath subsequently appeared in a handful of Playboy videos and posed for numerous newsstand special editions.

Bockrath tried her hand at acting in the early 1990s, portraying the sensuous Lillian Tucker in the steamy soft-core film "Totally Exposed". She also had a small part in the "Abra Cadaver" episode of the cable TV horror anthology series "Tales from the Crypt" and various other bit roles before pursuing hosting. She hosted Playboy TV's Newsfront for 5 years, then Midnight's Summer Dream for Playboy Online as well as Playboy online's lingerie show. She also worked for Mattel Toys as co-host to an animated Barbie for the New York Toy Fair.

In May of 2007, Bockrath married Emmy Award-winning music composer Velton Ray Bunch. In January 2008, Bockrath traveled to Egypt, fulfilling the dream destination listed on her Playmate Data Sheet. She now lives in Beverly Hills, working as a real estate broker in Sherman Oaks, California, and studies archeology when she isn't traveling around the world.
