04/26/2011
. (TMZ) TMZ has obtained a photo of Cherie Johnson -- who played Punky Brewster's BFF back in the '80s and Maxine on "Family Matters -- taken during a nude-ish photo shoot on a So Cal beach last week ... and she's hoping the pics will score her a spread in Playboy.

Johnson -- who's 35-years-old now -- tells us, "I have been threatening my family that I was going to do 'Playboy' since I was 18 years old."

Cherie adds, "When my mom said 'Okay' ... and my grandma said, 'Bring me a autographed copy,' I figured I'd make it a goal." more on this story
