Under current law in most US jurisdictions, publishing nude pictures of a model younger than 18 would be a felony. Margie Harrison (January 1954, June 1954) and Marguerite Empey (May 1955, February 1956) are the only other women to appear more than once as Playmates.
Marilyn Waltz (February 1954, April 1954, April 1955 – her first appearance was as Margaret Scott) and Janet Pilgrim (July 1955, December 1955, and October 1956) are tied for the most appearances.
Generally a woman may appear only once as a Playmate, but in the early years of the magazine, some models were featured multiple times. The first model called a Playmate of the Month was Margie Harrison, Miss January 1954, in the second issue of Playboy. Marilyn Monroe, who was featured in the first issue, was the only one to appear as "Sweetheart of the Month". This means there are now 4 Playmates annually rather than 12.Īccording to Playboy, there is no such thing as a former Playmate because "Once a Playmate, always a Playmate". Starting in 2021, Playboy has been digitally publishing quarterly Playmates rather than monthly. All 2020 Playmates were given yearbook superlatives rather than a PMOY title. Playboy also ended the Playmate of the Year title in 2020, instead awarding all 2019 Playmates the shared title of Playmates of the Year. The final Playmate of the Month was published digitally in December 2020. Until just prior to the death of Hugh Hefner, he personally selected each Playmate of the Month and every Playmate of the Year, taking into account an annual readers' poll. In addition, "casting calls" are held regularly in major US cities to offer opportunities for women to test for Playboy. Playboy encourages potential Playmates to send photos with " girl next door" appeal for consideration others may submit photos of Playmate candidates, and may be eligible for a finder's fee if their model is selected.

After either the first or second Playboy appearance, we suspect the enterprising owner of the 1950 negative recognized her and decided to sell her image for a fresh run as a lithograph. The magazine then brought her back as a playmate in April 1955, so obviously Hefner loved her. Moss shot in 1950 when she was nineteen but didn't hit Playboy's pages until 1954, when she was the centerspread for April. and titled “Sandra.” But the model is not Sandra-she's Playboy centerfold Margaret Scott, who was also known as Marilyn Waltz, and that fact goes a long way toward explaining why this image became so popular. Moss, we've also seen a version from the mid-1950s manufactured by J.S.J. Moss and titled “Rhapsody in Red.” This was a particularly popular image, and it was picked up by more than one company. This Technicolor lithograph doesn't have the blank advertising banner at top the way our many other examples do, but it's the same idea, manufactured by Copr.
