Playboy 1956 July Magazine

July 1956 features Alice Denham, a Playmate who was more than just a stunning model—she was also a writer, intellectual, and a fearless woman ahead of her time. Her centerfold radiates sophistication, with a sultry pose that highlights her natural beauty and confidence. Denham’s feature in Playboy was not just about her looks; she embodied the magazine’s vision of a modern, intelligent, and independent woman.

Beyond her pictorial, Denham had an impressive literary career, writing for major publications and later publishing books that explored sexuality, feminism, and her experiences in the literary world. Her ability to balance intellect with sensuality made her a standout Playmate, proving that Playboy was about more than just pin-up photography—it was about celebrating women in all their complexity.

This issue has been lovingly preserved from my personal collection and converted into a high-resolution digital format, ensuring that Alice Denham’s iconic feature remains available for those who appreciate both her beauty and her groundbreaking contributions.
