 The daughter of a Boston carpenter and a furrier, she intended to pursue an acting career and gained an entry into the drama program at Emerson College. However, as she was about to join the program, she discovered she'd beaten 200 other aspiring ''Playmates'' for a job at Boston's ''[[Playboy]] Club'' and opted to be a 'Bunny' for four years, under the name Toni Consalvi . She was named Boston's 'Bunny of the Year' in 1976. "A very social time in my life," she recalled in an interview with ''Deirdre Donahue'' for ''People''. She then headed out to Los Angeles to resume the pursuit of her acting dream and met [[Terry Bozzio]] in a Hollywood recording studio. Consalvi became [[Dale Bozzio]] when they married in 1979.
-In 1980 Terry and Dale Bozzio formed the group ''Missing Persons'' (originally called ''US Drag'') with former Zappa musicians [[Warren Cuccurullo]] on guitar and [[Patrick O'Hearn]] on bass. [[Thing-Fish]] session man [[Chuck Wild]], a classically trained musician, played keyboards. Their first recording was made at FZ's [[Utility Muffin Research Kitchen|UMRK]] studio and became a local No 1 on [[Rodney Bingenheimer|Bingenheimer's]] airplays for ''KROQ'' radio station. Their album, ''Spring Session M'' (an anagram of "Missing Persons"), went gold. The two Bozzios and Cuccurullo appeared in a ''Playboy Playmate'' VHS ''The Lunch Wagon'' (1981 & film 1982), soundtracked by ''Missing Persons''.
