Elizabeth Ann Roberts (born c. 1940) is an American model. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the January 1958 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Arthur James and Mike Shea.
Elizabeth's pictorial was a significant one in the history of Playboy because she was only 16 at the time her photos were taken.[1][2] (Her pictorial was titled "Schoolmate Playmate.") She literally had a note from her mother giving her permission to pose, but both Hugh Hefner and Roberts' mother were arrested and charged by Chicago authorities with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The charges were eventually dropped on the grounds of lack of evidence that Hefner had known her true age.
Roberts eventually became a Bunny at the Chicago Playboy Club.
