Her centerfold was photographed by Bruno Bernard and Bill Bridges, capturing her elegance and striking beauty in a classic Playboy style.
Atkins was a prominent showgirl at the Tropicana Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, where she performed in their Las Vegas rendition of the "Folies Bergere" revue. It was in this iconic show that she was discovered by Playboy, leading to her feature in the magazine's issue with a Las Vegas, Nevada theme. Atkins holds the record for the longest tenure in the Tropicana's "Folies-Bergere" revue, having performed there for an impressive 19 years.
In addition to her career at the Tropicana, Atkins had a prominent social life. She was the maid of honor at the marriage of Phillip Crosby, son of Bing Crosby, to fellow Tropicana showgirl Sandra Drummond, while she was dating Phillip's brother Gary Crosby. This connection to the Crosby family further cemented her status within the entertainment world.
