Success Story

Her success story began in a bank in Los
Angeles where spent her time as a secretary,
punching a typewriter. A photographer noticed
her, and kept coming back asking Miss Wilson if
she would like to pose for "Playboy."

"I had never modeled or posed before, and I
was really nervous about posing nude," said Miss
Wilson. "At first I kept thinking about what my
parents would think, but after I did it my parents
thought it was great," she laughed. She added
that the people back in Missoula thought it was
pretty neat too.

What is it like being a playmate?

"It's really groovy," she bubbled.

"Being a playmate, especially one that
continues working for 'Playboy' doing promotional
tours is really good for a girl who likes to
travel and meet people, and do something
interesting," she explained.

Talking about the concepts that some people
have about playmates having low moral values.
Miss Wilson said, "Concepts like that are
completely unfounded. The playmates are just
regular girls, some are nice and some aren't!"
