Playboy’s Playmates
1960 – 1969
Playmates of The Year (PMOY)
Playmates of The Month (PMOM)

Sally Sarell
I have experience in being a lifeguard, swimming instructress, secretary, fashion modeling.

Stella Stevens
What I like about men are money in their pockets, hair on their chests, brains in their heads.

Teddi Smith
I’ve been a salesgirl in an exclusive men’s shop and done publicity for a swimming pool company.

Christa Speck
Playboy’s readers and editors were in complete accord last year in their pick of the fetching Playmate pack.

Dianne Danford
I want a man who’s courteous, considerate and a gentleman. I’m tired of men who are the opposite of what I want.

Sheralee Conners
Unswerving gaze of thousands of female fame-and-fortune-seekers from shore to shore.

Susan Kelly
My class; the class of 36-22-35, figures to get A+ for attendance in my concentrated course in anatomy.

Laura Young
My only requirement in men is that they be fun to be with. I can’t stand fellows with moody or sleepy personalities.

Merle Pertile
My particular outboard assets (38-22-34) can hardly be muffled the way they’re arranged.

Adrienne Moreau
I’m terribly unrealistic — I want to become a great actress, and travel extensively, and marry a wise, decisive man.

Donna Michelle
When it finally gives way, maybe we’ll begin to understand, accept and, who knows, even rejoice in our sexual identities.

Phyllis Sherwood
Unlike a lot of girls I know, I’m totally unimpressed by bold, brash, dynamic types.

Sharon Cintron
I like portraits best, probably because I like people. The yoga bit is recent. I haven’t achieved spiritual well-being from it yet — just a sore neck.

Victoria Valentino
I should laugh it off, I know, as being the way the world is. But I can’t — my hopes are always too high.

China Lee
I’d like to be a professional singer someday — but I’m not counting on it, so if no one discovers me I won’t be disappointed.

Jo Collins
I’m so happy I feel like running out and giving everyone who voted for me a hug and a kiss.

Nancy Scott
Though I’m sometimes busier than I’d like to be, I find time to enjoy paintings, men and Manhattan.

Rosemarie Hillcrest
I knew I had the wherewithal to be a Playmate, but I was hesitant to travel all the way to America.

Dinah Willis
Is there any chance of a small-town girl who doesn’t know any important professional photographers… becoming a Playmate?

Gay Collier
I’ve already put my Playmate-photo prize money in a special oversees ‘ballerina-or-bust’ savings account.

Jennifer Jackson
I’m only sorry there aren’t more hours in the day. There are so many things I want to do, and so little time to do them.

Jessica St. George
By the time I reached eighth grade, I already had a number of years of ballet and tap lessons behind me. I’ve never had any doubts that it would be a dancer’s life for me.

Lannie Balcom
I enjoyed being a Bunny, but when I found out the magazine was looking for an editorial receptionist, I decided to throw my hat in the ring.

Maria McBane
I’ve already picked out an eighteen-foot day sailor to buy with the money I receive from my Playmate appearance. I’m so excited about it.

Pat Russo
I love being a Playmate because honestly, I need the money! I’m a typical female when it comes to clothes. My eyes are a lot bigger than my bank account.

Patti Reynolds
I may be able to combine business with pleasure by working my way up into international riding competitions.

Sally Duberson
Everyone should dance a little. It’s a great way to have fun and keep in shape at the same time.

Sue Williams
Being a Playmate is the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to me. I wasn’t really sure I was the right type.

Dianne Chandler
I love Playboy and I’m still amazed and so honored to have been chosen to be a Playmate.

Dolly Read
He asked me if I would like to consider becoming a Playmate, the first-ever English Playmate.

Judy Tyler
I love being a Playmate because I think Playboy is an intellectually stimulating magazine. Of course, I also love modeling and the attention.

Karla Conway
Rock-‘n’-roll music really does something to me. My feet get all tingly when the beat begins.

Kelly Burke
“If I could, I would become more daring like I was during my Playboy photoshoot. If I could be like that all the time, I could do great things.

Linda Moon
I’ve always loved animals. My bunny’s name is Tuffs, and he’s sort of a Playboy in his own right.

Lisa Baker
I had been so afraid of getting my hopes up. I just kept telling everyone ‘we’ll have to wait and see’ and now this. I can’t believe I’m Playmate of the Year!

Melinda Windsor
With the money I’ve received for my Playmate appearance, I’m now able to give my undivided attention to the pursuit of a sheepskin.

Priscilla Wright
I guess I’m luckier than a lot of kids from so-called happy homes whose parents never took time to help them with any of their teenage growing pains.

Susan Denberg
I like dancing, sunbathing, attending car races, relaxing and swimming at the beach. All Nordic women are secretly in love with the sun.

Angela Dorian
Important as my career is to me, I’m a woman first. I like to think of myself as being open to the world, brimming with love and music.

Anne Randall
I don’t like to analyze it, but I know I have to be an actress. It’s a very compulsive thing—when I’m acting, I’m happy. When I’m not, I’m miserable.

DeDe Lind
Posing for Playboy broadened my mind and helped me as a person. I like my life the way it is now.

Fran Gerard
As an Aries, I’m under the planet Mars which means I have a great deal of natural courage, a love of pioneering, testing, experimenting, and investigating.

Heather Ryan
My perfect man would be someone like Lawrence of Arabia—without the hang-ups. He cannot have long hair, though. That’s one of my turnoffs.

Joey Gibson
If I want to exercise outdoors and it’s raining, I’ll put on a bikini and run around the block a couple of times.

Kaya Christian
My ideal evening includes dinner at Scandia, night cruise to Catalina and greeting the milkman in the morning.

Kim Farber
I’d always wanted to be a Playmate, but once I got settled in my Theater Bunny routine, I never thought I’d get closer.

Lynn Winchell
Being a Playmate still seems like a beautiful dream—and if it is, I’m not anxious to wake up.

Reagan Wilson
Besides being fun, riding is the best way to keep in shape of my all-natural 40D boobs.

Surrey Marshe
I had never heard of Playboy before, but now, I’m a Bunny at the Playboy Club in New York City and Playmate of the Month.

Britt Fredriksen
When I first arrived in the States, I worked first at a Nordic-style restaurant on a lake in Minnesota. That’s where I heard about Playboy.

Connie Kreski
Being a Playmate, beginning an acting career and now getting elected Playmate of the Year—it’s all happened so quickly that it doesn’t seem real to me.

Cynthia Myers
I was so impressed by the people I met when I visited the Playboy Mansion. That I wanted more than ever to be a Playmate.

Dru Hart
Without making a big thing out of it, I guess I do try to groove to the fun side of life as much as possible.

Elizabeth Jordan
Most people don’t realize how difficult and exhausting it is to hold a single pose for the better part of an hour, but every model does.

Gale Olson
I’m a conservative, but I think every girl who has the figure for it wishes she could be a Playmate, and I’m no exception.

Melodye Prentiss
I love being a Playmate because the Playmate ideal expresses a healthy perspective toward nudity and sex. I really enjoy working at Playboy.

Michelle Hamilton
I sometimes fantasize myself into great movies, such as Doctor Zhivago and Blow-Up, but I do recognize the realities of life.

Nancy Harwood
My ambitions have always been to have the freedom to do what I want and for my ideas never to become old-fashioned.

Debbie Hooper
I love being a Playmate because I believe the human form is a beautiful thing and I am proud of it.

Gloria Root
My friends know that I’m young, sexy, somewhat intellectual woman who hate parties, love teachers, enjoys money.

Helena Antonaccio
My folks were as happy as I was when I became a Bunny. And now to be a Playmate, too—I’m sure glad I didn’t get that wig-modeling job.

Kathy MacDonald
My ambitions are to model and act. But, I’d also like a good husband and children—but not for years.

Leslie Bianchini
I spend an embarrassing amount of money on clothing, but I’m crazy about the new fashions.

Lorna Hopper
In ancient times, the purpose of clothes wasn’t to hide nudity, but to decorate the body and we should never allow ourselves to forget that.

Lorrie Menconi
Cooking and sleeping out, sailing, swimming—really most all activities in or around the water—that’s my kind of life.

Nancy McNeil
At first I thought they were putting me on, but it turned out they were really on the level.

Sally Sheffield
I love being a Playmate because it’s a financially rewarding means to satisfy my exhibitionist tendencies!
