Playboy Magazine in the 1950's
Playboy was launched in December of 1953, with Marilyn Monroe as the first Playboy Playmate. The magazine hit the newsstands at a time when the American public, and countries abroad, were ready for a blend of intelligent content and pure sexuality. Playboy was an instant success, no doubt in part due to its first playmate being one of the biggest sex symbols of our time.
The playboy archive for the Fifties includes photos of and interviews with many famous and beautiful women of that decade. Famous people who have appeared in playboy during the 1950's include Jayne Mansfield, Brigitte Bardot, Kim Novak, Tina Louise, and Joane Arnold.
Playboy magazine back issues from the 1950's are among the most valuable collectors items, particularly when the copies are in pristine condition.
