Andy Gray | Jun 26, 2013

***********

It's Throwback Thursday and today we're giving props to Ashley Richardson, who is celebrating her 48th birthday. The Massachusetts native, who stands 6-foot-1, made her swimsuit debut in 1989 and appeared six total times (1989-93, 1995) including the 1991 cover. She was also just named No 28 on SwimDaily's ranking of the top 50 all-time SI Swimsuit models. In this 1995 video, Richardson returns for her first swimsuit shoot since giving birth to a daughter the year before and puts her ballet training to good use. As Ashley celebrates her big week, we look back at some of her best swimsuit photos.
