Playboy 1971 May Magazine (Playboy 1971 Magazines #5)

Janice Pennington, born on July 8, 1942, in Seattle, Washington, was the Playmate of the Month for May 1971. At 5 feet 8 inches tall, Pennington brought a statuesque elegance to Playboy that made her an instant standout. Her career, however, extended far beyond the pages of the magazine. She became best known as one of the original "Barker's Beauties" on the popular game show The Price Is Right, where she worked as a model for nearly three decades from 1972 to 2000. Her long tenure on the show earned her the distinction of being its longest-running model. Pennington's time on The Price Is Right solidified her status as a television icon, beloved by audiences for her grace and poise.

In addition to her modeling career, Pennington is also an accomplished author, co-writing a book titled Husband, Lover, Spy about the mysterious disappearance of her husband, Fritz Stammberger, in Afghanistan. Her multifaceted career and personal experiences have made her one of the more intriguing figures to emerge from Playboy’s illustrious history. Each issue featuring Janice Pennington was carefully scanned and uploaded to Kindle from my personal collection.
