It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

It seems impossible that the people in these two pictures (cigar-smoker and Playboy cover) are the same. It is very unlikely that the cover shows Shari Belafonte. Can someone verify and fix? Ttzz 10:41, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Shari

TTzz...please be aware that the two pictures are indeed Shari Belafonte. The magazine cover is Shari in her younger years. At that time, she was widely proclaimed as one of the world's most desirable women. (7th January 2006)

That is incorrect. It was not her in her younger years, it was taken for that month's Playboy in 2000. She was 45 in that picture.

• Why is the cigar-smoking picture there anyway? It is so ugly.

[edit] freak

"Shari Belafonte (born September 22, 1954) is an American actress, model, writer, freak and singer." -- what does "freak" mean in this context? She acts, models, writes, sings, and... freaks? Is there a more useful generic term that could be used instead? Eeksypeeksy 08:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
