Playboy 1955 April Magazine

April 1955 brings back Marilyn Waltz, a model who holds a unique place in Playboy history. Waltz became the first woman to appear as a Playmate three times, a distinction that highlighted her immense popularity among readers. Her natural beauty, with soft curls and a radiant smile, made her a quintessential 1950s pin-up. Each of her centerfolds captured a different facet of her personality, from playful innocence to sophisticated seduction. Her April 1955 pictorial, in particular, showcased her in a classic Hollywood-inspired setting, emphasizing her timeless appeal.

Unlike some of her fellow Playmates who pursued acting or modeling careers, Waltz largely stepped away from the public eye after her Playboy appearances. Despite her brief time in the spotlight, she left an indelible mark on the magazine’s early history. Her repeated features demonstrated Playboy’s recognition of reader favorites and set the precedent for future Playmates who would make multiple appearances. Waltz remains one of the most beloved figures of Playboy’s early years, a testament to her undeniable charm and beauty.
