'''Jennifer McCarthy''' (born [[November 1]], [[1972]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[model (person)|model]], [[comedian]], [[actor|actress]] and [[author]]. She first appeared in ''[[Playboy]]'' magazine in October 1993 and was named [[List of Playmates of the Year|Playmate of the Year]] in its June 1994 issue. She later began a career in television and film and has recently started writing books. She and fellow model and actress [[Pamela Anderson]] are generally considered the most recognizable Playboy Playmates.

== Biography ==

The '''[[McDonnell Douglas]] DC-10''' is a [[Trijet|three-engined]] medium to long-range airliner, with two engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the [[stabilizer|vertical stabilizer]]. The model was a successor to the company's [[Douglas DC-8|DC-8]] for long-range operations, and competed in the same markets as the [[Airbus A300]], [[Boeing 747]] "jumbo jet", and the physically similar [[Lockheed]] [[Lockheed L-1011|L-1011 TriStar]]. 386 DC-10s were delivered to airlines and 60 were built for the [[United States Air Force|U.S. Air Force]] as [[air-to-air refueling]] [[Tanker (aircraft)|tanker]]s, designated the [[KC-10 Extender]]. <ref>Boeing Corp. [http://www.boeing.com/history/mdc/dc-10.htm Boeing:History - McDonnell Douglas DC-10] (Accessed Feb. 28, 2006)</ref> The DC-10 was succeeded by the related [[McDonnell Douglas MD-11]] which entered service in 1990.

=== Early life ===

She was cool. And it was good.

==History==

McCarthy was born in [[Chicago, Illinois]], to a middle-class [[Irish American]] [[Catholic]] family that lived in Southwest Chicago in the [[West Elsdon, Chicago|West Elsdon]] neighborhood. She is the second of four daughters; her sisters are named [[Joanne McCarthy|Joanne]], [[Amy McCarthy|Amy]] and Lynette. Her mother, Linda, was a housewife, and her father, Dan McCarthy, was a steel mill foreman.<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/specials/magazine4/articles/mccarthy.html</ref> She attended St. Turibius Grade School on Chicago's South Side. As a teenager, McCarthy attended [[Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School]] (whose school sweater she donned in the pages of ''Playboy'') and was cheerleader at both [[Brother Rice High School]] and [[St. Laurence High School]]s,<ref>Austin, Michael and Jennifer Wehunt, "Before They Were Famous," ''[[Chicago (magazine)|Chicago]]'', pg. 76, February 2007, Volume 56, number 2.</ref><!-- no citation for status as cheerleading captain--> although she has referred to herself as an "outcast" at her school.<ref>http://www.usaweekend.com/98_issues/980719/980719talk_mccarthy.html</ref> After McCarthy graduated from high school, she attended [[Southern Illinois University Carbondale]] to study nursing. She needed money to pay for college, so she decided to submit her picture to ''[[Playboy]]'' magazine to make money. She was accepted and became a model.

The DC-10 was McDonnell Douglas's first commercial [[airliner]] after the 1967 merger between [[McDonnell Aircraft Corporation]] and [[Douglas Aircraft Company]]. It was built to a specification from [[American Airlines]] for a widebody aircraft smaller than the Boeing 747 but capable of flying similar long-range routes from airports with shorter runways. In some ways, the Boeing 747 was ahead of its time as several smaller airports could not accommodate it because of gate restrictions and runway length. McDonnell Douglas was able to capitalise on this with the DC-10.

=== Modeling and acting career ===

The DC-10 first flew on [[August 29]] [[1970]] and entered commercial service in 1971, nearly a year before the Lockheed TriStar (which was built to a similar specification). The launch customers for the DC-10 were United and American Airlines. Both were Series 10s.

After getting accepted by ''Playboy'' in 1993, the magazine wanted her to pose for the October issue. McCarthy was paid $30,000 for the photo shoot. McCarthy became the Playmate of the Month and later the Playmate of the Year. With this, McCarthy gained attention and popularity. In [[1994]], McCarthy moved to [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]]. For a time, she hosted ''Hot Rocks'', a [[Playboy TV]] show featuring uncensored [[music video]]s.

In [[1995]], [[MTV]] chose McCarthy to be the host of a new dating show called ''[[Singled Out]]'', for which she left ''Hot Rocks''. Her job as a host was a success, and Playboy wanted her to model more. In [[1996]], McCarthy landed a small part in the comedy ''[[The Stupids]]''. In [[1997]] McCarthy launched two shows. The first one was an MTV sketch comedy show called ''The Jenny McCarthy Show'', which was popular enough that NBC signed her to do a sitcom later that year called ''Jenny'', generally considered a disappointment and was quickly canceled. Also in [[1997]], she appeared on one of two covers for the September issue of ''Playboy'', the other cover had [[Pamela Anderson]] on the cover. McCarthy also released an autobiography: ''Jen-X''. McCarthy once modeled for Candies, a shoe company. In one advertisement, McCarthy posed naked wearing only shoes and having her panties off while sitting on a toilet seat. This stirred a controversy.

The first DC-10 version was the "domestic" series 10 with a range of 3800 statute miles (6,112 km). The series 30 had a typical load range of 6,220 statute miles (10,010 km) or a maximum payload range of 7,410 km. The series 40 (mostly ordered by Northwest Orient and Japan Airlines) had a typical load range of 5750 statute miles (9,265 km) or a maximum payload range of 7,520 km. The series 40 was powered by Pratt & Whitney engines, whereas the series 10 and 30 engines were from General Electric. One of the main visible differences between the models is that the series 10 has three sets of landing gear (one front and two main) while the series 30 and 40 have four (3 mains), as an extra 2-wheel main landing gear which extends from the center of the fuselage, was added to compensate for the extra weight.

In [[1998]], McCarthy starred in ''[[BASEketball]]''. In [[1999]], she starred in ''[[Diamonds (1999 film)|Diamonds]]'', a movie which was directed by her husband [[John Mallory Asher]]. The next year, she appeared in the popular horror movie ''[[Scream 3]]''. Since [[2001]], McCarthy has guest-starred in many shows as ''[[Stacked]]'', ''[[Charmed]]'', ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'', ''[[Fastlane (TV series)|Fastlane]]'' and ''[[Just Shoot Me!]]''.

The 446th and final DC-10 rolled off the production line in December 1988 and was delivered to Nigeria Airways in early 1989.

In [[2003]], McCarthy appeared in ''[[Scary Movie 3]]'' along with model and actress [[Pamela Anderson]]. In [[2005]], McCarthy produced, wrote and starred in ''[[Dirty Love]]'' along with [[Carmen Electra]]. The same year, McCarthy hosted a new show on [[E!]] called ''Party at the Palms''. The reality show, which is filmed at [[The Palms]] Hotel in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]], features hotel guests, party goers and celebrities acting outrageously with McCarthy. In March 2006, she was given [[2005 Golden Raspberry Awards|Razzie Awards]] for "Worst Actress," "Worst Screenplay," and "Worst Picture" for her work on ''Dirty Love'', which also netted her then-husband, [[John Mallory Asher|John Asher]], a Razzie for "Worst Director."

Despite its troubled beginnings, the DC-10 ultimately proved &mdash; and continues to be &mdash; a reliable aircraft, much loved by engineers and pilots. The original DC-10-10's notorious safety record continually improved as design flaws were ironed out and fleet hours increased. In fact, the DC-10's lifetime safety record as of 2003 is comparable to similar second generation passenger jets. <ref>[http://www.boeing.com/news/techissues/pdf/statsum.pdf].</ref> Increased inspections and modifications made the DC-10 one of the safest aircraft to travel on latterly. Nonetheless, because of its poor record in the 1970s and 1980s, the DC-10 acquired an unfavorable reputation.

===Safety recordPublic persona ===

Though McCarthy initially rose to fame because of her sexual image, a frequent source of her celebrity derives from [[toilet humor]], particularly the shock of seeing a beautiful woman urinate, vomit, pass gas, or pick her nose.

Although the DC-10's lifetime safety record is comparable to that of other heavy passenger jet aircraft, the DC-10 suffered a trying time during the 1970s when a string of highly publicized incidents and crashes snowballed into a brief grounding by the [[United States]] [[Federal Aviation Administration]]. The result of this grounding, however, was a more efficient and safer DC-10.

Another Candies ad, which did not cause as much controversy, found McCarthy passing gas in a crowded elevator. A sketch on her MTV show centered around her character, a well-coifed business woman, answering the question of "What did you have for lunch?" by forcing herself to vomit all over a table (which she then ate on-screen). The direct contrast of McCarthy's reputation as a sex symbol and this often grotesque humor is closely associated with her image. This image was taken to a new extreme in her film ''Dirty Love'', which featured McCarthy's character sitting in a massive pool of her own [[menstrual blood]].[http://www.hecklerspray.com/glory-at-the-razzies-for-tom-cruise-nicole-kidman/20062393.php]

The DC-10 was designed with cargo doors that opened outward instead of inward, as inward opening "plug-type" doors used on smaller pressurized aircraft are not well-suited to the larger openings into the cargo hold necessitated by the increased baggage load of a jumbo jet. Outward opening doors rely on a heavy locking mechanism to secure the door against the outward force caused by the [[pressurization]] of the fuselage. In the event that the door lock malfunctioned, there was potential for catastrophic blow-out of the whole door. This sort of depressurization caused a failure of the rear floor of the passenger cabin because vents were not present to rapidly equalize the pressure between the cargo and passenger compartments. Cables running from the flight deck to the rear control surfaces are embedded in the floor frame and a collapse would lead to a compromise of the flight deck's ability to control the plane.

McCarthy has authored a series of three books about her experience with pregnancy and raising her son, Evan.

This problem was first identified in 1972, when [[American Airlines Flight 96]] lost its aft cargo door after takeoff from [[Detroit]], but fortunately the crew were able to perform an emergency landing with no further incident. Before Flight 96 took off, an airport employee had violently forced the door shut, weakening the locking pin and causing the door to subsequently blow-out as the plane reached altitude. McDonnell Douglas attempted to place the blame on the employee, whom they described as "illiterate", and deflected criticism of the aircraft design itself.

McCarthy is also an occasional columnist for ''[[FHM]]'' magazine and is currently a spokesperson for [[Weight Watchers]].

=== Personal life ===

Although many carriers voluntarily modified the cargo doors and re-trained their ground crews, there was not yet a mandatory redesign of the system. Severe design problems still persisted with the aircraft's cargo doors, however. Two years after the American Airlines incident, an almost identical cargo door blow-out befell [[Turkish Airlines Flight 981]], which crashed into a forest shortly after leaving [[Orly Airport]] in [[Paris]] on March 3, 1974. 346 people were killed in one of the worst aviation disasters of the twentieth century. The circumstances surrounding this crash were similar to those surrounding the previous accident; however, a modified seating configuration on the Turkish aircraft exacerbated the effects of decompression which caused the floor of the aircraft to collapse into the cargo bay. Control cables running through the floor of the plane were severed when the floor collapsed and this rendered the aircraft uncontrollable. In the aftermath of this crash, all DC-10s underwent a mandatory door redesign.

In [[1993]], McCarthy underwent [[breast augmentation]] to enhance her look as a model for ''[[Playboy]]''. Borrowing a page from fellow [[Playmate]] [[Pamela Anderson]]'s publicity playbook, McCarthy took them out in 1998.

McCarthy dated her manager Ray Manzella for a short time in 1998. After breaking up with Manzella, McCarthy began dating actor/director [[John Mallory Asher|John Asher]]. The couple got engaged in [[January]] [[1999]], and married that year on [[September 11]]. They have a son, Evan Joseph, born on [[May 18]], [[2002]]. In [[August]] [[2005]], McCarthy and Asher filed for [[divorce]].

[[Image:northwest.arp.750pix.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Northwest Airlines DC-10-30]]

In 1979, with the cargo door issues resolved, DC-10s around the world were grounded following the crash of [[American Airlines Flight 191]], which killed 273 people. Flight 191 lost its number one wing engine after taking off from [[O'Hare International Airport]] in Chicago, USA, [[May 25]] [[1979]]. The engine loss damaged the aircraft's lift enhancement system on that wing and also damaged warning systems, causing it to lose control. As the engine separated upwards, it ripped through the leading edge of the wing, rupturing hydraulic lines causing the port wing slats to retract. Losing lift on one side, the plane rolled left and crashed before the flight crew could recover.

In a February [[2006]] interview with [[Howard Stern]], [[pornography|adult]] actress [[Jenna Jameson]] said she had two sexual encounters with McCarthy.<ref>http://www.marksfriggin.com/news06/1-30.htm#wed</ref> When McCarthy visited Stern's show in April 2006, she denied having sex with Jameson, but said she "made out" with her during the two encounters. McCarthy also took a [[polygraph|lie detector]] test and passed the questions regarding Jameson. During the appearance, McCarthy also admitted to having performed [[oral sex]] on women and that she cheated on her ex-husband with both men and women.<ref>http://marksfriggin.com/news06/4-24.htm#tue</ref> However, in a later appearance on ''[[Jimmy Kimmel Live]]'', she claimed they didn't cheat on each other because it was totally agreed upon.

The United States [[National Transportation Safety Board]] officials discovered that a maintenance procedure was the culprit: American Airlines mechanics had removed the engine and its pylon at the same time (rather than removing the engine from the pylon then the pylon from the wing, as recommended by McDonnell Douglas), using a [[forklift]], and the forklift operator had inadvertently cracked the pylon in the process. The short-cut procedure, thought to save several man hours on maintenance, was not approved by McDonnell Douglas, but most major airlines used it. Although McDonnell Douglas was not at fault for the pylon separation, it redesigned the DC-10 to allow more redundancies in the hydraulic systems. (It is rumored, although not confirmed, that the crash was a factor in a deal several years later where AA purchased a large order of [[McDonnell Douglas MD-80]]'s at a discount.)

In December [[2005]], McCarthy began dating actor [[Jim Carrey]]. They did not make their relationship public until June 2006.

The Chicago incident also highlighted a deficiency in the DC-10 design, due to its lack of locking flap mechanisms that are designed to maintain their position in the event of a hydraulic or pneumatic failure. Other widebody aircraft of the day carried such a feature, but it was omitted from the DC-10.

In May [[2007]], McCarthy announced that her son was diagnosed with autism and would be coming out with a book on the subject shortly. ''Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism'' is due out in September of 2007.

In 1979, an [[Air New Zealand]] DC-10-30 flew into [[Mount Erebus]] in [[Antarctica]] during a sight-seeing trip. All 257 on board [[Air New Zealand Flight 901]] were killed. The accident was caused by complex factors, centred around an un-announced flight plan change, and not related to the airworthiness of the aircraft.

She lives in [[Sherman Oaks, California]], next to heiress [[Margo Wilson]]. Her cousin is [[Melissa McCarthy]] of the [[Gilmore Girls]].

Perhaps the most infamous instance of a DC-10 crash was the [[United Airlines Flight 232|Flight 232 disaster]] at [[Sioux City, Iowa|Sioux City]], USA, in 1989. After the #2 engine suffered an uncontained fan disk failure in flight, resulting in rupturing critical hydraulic lines, the crew, lead by an unrostered senior pilot flying as a passenger, performed an emergency landing by varying remaining engine power as they had no hydraulic power to the controls. Although the aircraft was completely destroyed and with the loss of many lives, over half of the passengers survived.

== Appearances in ''Playboy'' special editions ==

The Sioux City crash concerned investigators because the total loss of hydraulic pressure aboard the DC-10 was considered nearly impossible. The design, however, had lines from all three independent and redundant hydraulic systems in close proximity, directly beneath the #2 (tail) engine. Debris from the #2 disk failure penetrated all three lines resulting in loss of control to the elevators, ailerons and the rudder.

The [[Air France Flight 4590|Air France Concorde crash]] of 2000 was attributed to a fragment of titanium metal that fell from a DC-10 that had taken off some four minutes earlier. [[Continental Airlines]], the operator of the DC-10 in question, quickly retired its entire fleet of DC-10's immediately afterward.

==Variants Pro-wrestling ==

McCarthy made an appearance at the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|World Wrestling Federation's]] [[WrestleMania XI]] on [[April 2]], [[1995]] as a guest valet for [[Shawn Michaels]]. She left after the match with the victor, [[WWE Championship|WWF Heavyweight Champion]] [[Kevin Nash|Diesel]].

The DC-10 was manufactured in five different variants:

* '''DC-10-10''' : Original version, produced from 1970. The main customers for this domestic version were [[American Airlines]] and [[United Airlines]]. The DC-10-10 was equipped with [[General Electric CF6-50|GE CF6-6]] engines, which was the first civil engine from the successful CF6-family.

* '''DC-10-10F''' : Convertible passenger/cargo transport aircraft.

* '''DC-10-15''' : Also known as the "DC-10 Sport", designed for use at hot high-altitude airports. The series 15 was fitted with higher-thrust [[General Electric CF6-50]] powerplants. Only 7 were built for Mexican carriers [[Aeroméxico]] and [[Mexicana]]. Produced from 1979.

* '''DC-10-20''' : ''See DC-10-40''.

* '''DC-10-30''' : The most common model, built with [[General Electric CF6-50]] [[turbofan]] engines and larger fuel tanks to increase range and fuel efficiency, as well as a set of rear center [[landing gear]] to support the increased weight. It was the second long-range model after the DC-10-40 and very popular with European flag carriers. Produced from 1972.

* '''DC-10-30CF''' : Convertible cargo/passenger transport version.

* '''DC-10-30ER''' : Extended range version.

* '''DC-10-30F''' : All freight version.

* '''DC-10-40''' : First long-range version, fitted with [[Pratt & Whitney JT9D]] engines. Originally designated DC-10-20, this model was renamed DC-10-40 after a special request from [[Northwest Airlines]] for marketing purposes. Northwest felt that customers perceived the -40 series designation to be more advanced. This US-carrier and [[Japan Airlines|JAL]] were the only airlines to order the series 40. Produced from 1972.

[[Image:McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender.jpg|200px|thumb|right|KC-10 Extender, based on the DC-10-30 airframe]]

*'''[[KC-10 Extender]]''': Military version of the DC-10-30 used for [[aerial refueling]]. The aircraft was ordered by the [[United States Air Force|US Air Force]]. Produced from 1981. It is the longest-ranged production aircraft in the world.

* '''KDC-10''' : Aerial refuelling tanker for the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Converted from civil airliners to a similar standard to the KC-10.

McDonnell Douglas later produced a larger variant called the [[McDonnell Douglas MD-11|MD-11]]. The MD-11 used newer engines, plus a [[glass cockpit]], which eliminated the need for the [[flight engineer]] position. The MD-11 entered service in 1991. In addition, some DC-10s have been upgraded by [[Boeing]] to the so-called '''MD-10'''. The MD-10 has an upgraded cockpit giving it certain benefits of the more modern MD-11 cockpit, and more importantly, a common [[Aircraft type rating|type rating]]. This allows companies such as [[Federal Express]], which operate both the MD-10 and MD-11, to have a common pilot pool for both aircraft.

The aging model is now being used as a dedicated freight aircraft: many mainline carriers have sold their obsolete DC-10 fleets to cargo carriers such as [[FedEx]]. Some passenger airlines, most notably [[Northwest Airlines]], and [[Omni Air International]], continue to operate the DC-10 on trunk routes (although NWA has plans to phase out their DC-10s on January 7th, 2007). Almost all DC-10s remaining in passenger service are series 30 aircraft.

== Footnotes ==

The Royal Netherlands Air Force has converted the aircraft to KDC-10 flying tankers. The [[Orbis International]] use a DC-10 as flying eye hospital.

"The DC10 is a reliable airplane, fun to fly, roomy and quiet, kind of like flying an old Cadillac Fleetwood. We're sad to see an old friend go. When we landed them in Europe, guys from other airlines would come over and look at them. You don't see them much anymore. They're kind of antiques."
