Lisa Winters Bio 
Lisa Winters is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Marie Perry on May 18, 1936, in Pompano Beach, Florida. Playboy named her its December 1956 Playmate at 20. She was later named Playmate of the Year 1957. Her appearance dates from the magazine's formative 1950s, when the Playmate format was still taking shape.
Winters has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 35-23-35.
Lisa Winters entered modeling almost by accident. Photographer Bunny Yeager first noticed her hurrying for a bus in downtown Miami and returned to the same corner for several afternoons before finding her again. Winters had never modeled and had little interest in making a career of it, but Yeager persuaded her to sit for test photographs. The arrangement came with an unusual condition: Winters was so uncomfortable posing nude for men that she would work only with Yeager.
That reluctance makes the photographs especially distinctive. Rather than arriving with professional modeling experience, Winters approached the session as a private young woman stepping briefly into an unfamiliar world. Away from the camera, she described herself as a “home girl” who preferred books to sports and spent at least one day each week at the public library. Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemingway, and Rudyard Kipling were among her favorite writers.
Her Playboy connection continued beyond the December 1956 issue. In 1957, Winters was named the magazine’s first Playmate of the Year, giving her an unusual place in Playboy history even though she never pursued the kind of extended publicity career that later surrounded many Playmates. She also worked for a time as a secretary in Playboy’s Chicago offices, keeping her connected to the company from the other side of the desk.
Winters made only a small number of screen appearances. She later appeared in Bunny Yeager's Nude Camera in 1963 and, under her birth name Marie Perry, in Intimate Diary of Artists' Models. After that brief period of public work, she largely withdrew from view. Her surviving story remains closely tied to Yeager: a chance encounter at a Miami bus stop, a photographer patient enough to return, and a reluctant first-time model who became part of Playboy history without ever seeming especially interested in becoming a conventional star.
