Gloria Walker (born July 16, 1937 in Bronx, New York) is an American actress and model. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the June 1956 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Herman Leonard.
Walker became a Playmate through her attendance of a modeling school, which referred her to Leonard. He then submitted some cheesecake photos of Walker to Playboy. At the time her Playmate photos were published, she was working at a New York-based telephone company, which eventually dismissed her because of the extra attention she was garnering. Following that, Walker continued modeling and also appeared a few times on The Steve Allen Show.
Although Walker remains proud of her status as a Playmate, she says she has never been to the Playboy Mansion and has never met Hugh Hefner.
