The nudes was broken by Hugh Hefner , who posted on his Twitter page: ” I’m saddened by the news of the passing of beloved Playmate Cynthia Myers, Miss December 1968.” Cynthia was only 17 when she shot her first centerfold for the legendary men’s mag in June 1968. When her 18th birthday came and went and the photos were finally published, she became a skinstant fan favorite, especially among soldiers in Vietnam. After the runaway success of her pictorial, Cynthia was a frequent guest on Hefner’s Playboy After Dark series, and with her abundant assets, she was soon skinducted into Meyer’s stable of top-heavy talent for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls , where she played lesbian rock singer Casey Anderson . Cynthia followed up Dolls with a supporting role in the Western Molly and Lawless John (1972), but her career on screen was unfortunately brief. She remains a fan favorite at Playboy , and was voted #10 “Playmate of the Century” by readers of the magazine. Cynthia will be sorely missed by her family, friends and millions of fans around the world. Join us after the jump for a pnueumatic pictorial tribute to Cynthia Myers !
