Hugh Hefner last night announced *Jaclyn Swedberg* as the Playboy Playmate of
the Year for 2012 at a party held at the Playboy Mansion. "It's such an
honor," said Jaclyn, who hails from Southern California. "And to think
that I got there is surreal still." As Playboy's 53rd Playmate of the
Year, Jaclyn joins an exclusive club of talented women. "My favorite is
Karen McDougal," said Jaclyn. "She's so beautiful; she's so classic
… All the girls that I come after I look up to because they've
accomplished something and they're all so unique and different." The
brunette beauty admitted that her family's support helps make the
announcement all the more fulfilling, saying, "I don't think this would
be the same experience if they weren't behind me all the way, and my mom is
my biggest fan!" Jaclyn's cover will be on Playboy's June issue, which
hits newsstands Friday, May 18, but you can check out the pictorial today
inside the Playboy Cyberclub. Join Jaclyn Swedberg at Playboy
