Carrie Radison Bio
Carrie Radison is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on November 1, 1938, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Playboy named her its June 1957 Playmate at 18. Her appearance dates from the magazine's formative 1950s, when the Playmate format was still taking shape.
Radison has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 35-22-35.
Radison’s centerfold was shot by photographer Desmond Russell, a polished eye whose compositions favored the clean, studio-forward look that suited many 1950s pictorials. At the time she posed, she was quietly pursuing a stage career and harbored ambitions of reaching Broadway—an attachment to the theatre that framed her modeling as one part of a broader, performance-minded life rather than an end in itself.
Alongside her print work, Radison became one of the first Bunnies at the Playboy Club, an early, visible link between the magazine’s pages and its live-entertainment experiment. Working in the club placed her in front of an audience every night and turned a magazine appearance into an ongoing public presence: the centerfold and the Bunny uniform became complementary roles in the same public persona.
Those dual commitments—stage hopes and club work—kept Radison in the public eye into the 1960s, when the Playboy name itself was as much a venue as a publication. Her photographs for Russell and her early Bunny service together trace a particular kind of midcentury career, one that moved between photographic glamour and live performance without sacrificing the theatrical ambitions she first brought to the camera.
