Elizabeth Ann Roberts (born August 4, 1941) 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.
Career
Elizabeth's pictorial was a significant one in the history of Playboy because she was only 16 at the time her photos were taken. Hefner was brought before a domestic relations court on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.[1][2] 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.
Legacy
Her centerfold can be seen in animated form in Ralph Bakshi's film American Pop.
