[edit] Pioneer
Liv Lindeland was the first Playmate, after 18 years and 216 issues, to show full frontal nudity in a pictorial. Pictures of Lindeland clearly showed blond pubic hair in several shots, including the centerfold itself. Perhaps to divert attention from this major advance in the Pubic Wars with rival pornographic magazine Penthouse, Lindeland's pictorial, photographed by Alexas Urba, focused on her long hair and the underside of her breasts.
Although Lindeland's full frontal nudity generated a tremendous amount of media and popular attention, the first appearance of pubic hair in Playboy actually occurred in August 1969 in a pictorial featuring dancer/actress/model Paula Kelly. The first Playmate showing pubic hair (although hardly visible) on her centerfold was Gloria Root (December 1969).
Lindeland went into acting following her Playboy appearance, and then segued into a career as a talent agent. She again posed nude for Playboy in the December 1979 pictorial "Playmates Forever!"
She is the daughter-in-law of dancer Cyd Charisse.
