TEDDI SMITH
One of the most prolific Playboy Playmates of the 1960s, Teddi Smith appeared on the cover of Playboy four times! Smith started the swinging sixties off right as Playmate of the Month in July 1960. With her strawberry blonde hair and girlish smile, Smith was the perfect Playboy Playmate.

BARBARA ANN LAWFORD
Not every cover girl is a centerfold, and not every centerfold is on the cover, but Barbara Ann Lawford was both! Lawford was on the cover of Playboy in February 1961 and again in September of ’61. The busty brunette was also the centerfold Playmate of the Month in the February issue. Her doe-eyed, girl-next-door stare made Lawford a Playboy favorite.

An exotic beauty, China Lee was the first Asian American Playmate! Lee appeared as the centerfold of the August 1964 issue. Playboy never discriminated against beautiful women, featuring Lee’s long dark hair and voluptuous body with pride.

JO COLLINS
Jo Collins embodied the Playboy Playmate of the 1960s: beautiful, brunette, and buxom! Collins glowed in her 1964 Playmate of the Month centerfold, eventually winning her Playmate of the Year for 1965. In 1966 Collins traveled all the way to Vietnam to hand-deliver a copy of Playboy to a lieutenant who had a lifetime subscription!

JENNIFER JACKSON
Playboy broke down countless barriers between society, race, and sex in the 1960s. Always leading the charge for change, Playboy was one of the first American magazines to feature women of color. Jennifer Jackson was the very first African American Playmate of the Month in March of 1965. Jackson was also a Playboy Bunny at the famed Playboy Club.

ANGELA DORIAN
Born Victoria Vetri in San Fransisco, Vetri posed for Playboy under the name Angela Dorian and was chosen at the Playmate of the Month in the September 1967 issue. Dorian would go on to act and appear in a few major films such as Rosemary’s Baby. In May 2000 she was featured #48 in the Collector’s Edition of Playboy’s Centerfolds of the Century. Eleven years later in 2011 Dorian was arrested and sentenced to 9 years in prison for shooting her husband. Dorian was one dangerous dame!

GALE OLSON
Centerfold Gale Olson was Playmate of the Month for the August 1968 issue in a spread that was more indicative of the free-wheeling, care-free attitude of the late 1960s. Olson brought a more natural, ethereal look to Playboy. Olson was also a bunny at the Playboy Club. Her daughter, Crystal McCahill, would go on to be Playmate of the Month a few decades later in May of 2009.
