About Pantera Malone

I believe in the golden rule,” says February 1978 covergirl Pantera Malone. “Do unto others and all that.” This good-hearted resident of West Palm Beach, Florida, considers herself a rarity in a community where, as she puts it, “People look down their noses at anyone they consider inferior—which is almost everyone.” On more than one occasion, Pantera has stopped to help someone change a flat tire or rescue a cat from a tree. “It’s just the way I am,” shrugs the amiable 20-year-old. “I like people, and people like me. It all depends on how you treat them.”
