Margaret Scott Bio 
Margaret Scott was an American glamour and nude model. Born Marilyn Ardith Waltz on November 5, 1931, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, she has also been credited as Marilyn Waltz. Playboy named her its February 1954 Playmate at 22. Her appearance dates from the magazine's formative 1950s, when the Playmate format was still taking shape.
Scott had natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 36-23-34.
For decades the name Margaret Scott read like a footnote in Playboy’s early catalogue: familiar on the page, obscure in the ledger. Research published in the mid‑1990s cleared up the confusion—Scott proved to be a byline rather than a separate performer, a nom de plume that belonged to the model otherwise credited as Marilyn Waltz. The correction folded two sets of credits into a single career and quietly revised how historians read those formative issues.
Her imagery appears again under the Marilyn Waltz credit in later issues, notably in April 1954 and April 1955. Those repeat appearances underline that the era’s pages often recycled faces and bylines in ways that make a modern archiveer’s work part scholarship, part detective work.
The unmasking of Margaret Scott is one of those small but telling corrections that reshapes a magazine’s provenance: what once read as two separate contributors now reads as a single, recurring presence, and the story of mid‑century pinup culture gains a little more clarity as a result.
