Myrna Weber

Playboy Playmate of The Month for August 1958

Myrna Weber Bio

Myrna Weber was an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on April 22, 1938, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Playboy named her its August 1958 Playmate at 20. Her appearance dates from the magazine's formative 1950s, when the Playmate format was still taking shape.

Weber had natural breasts, green eyes and red hair. Her measurements are 37-24-36.

Myrna Weber’s Playboy pictorial was shaped by photographer Bunny Yeager, whose outdoor glamour work had already become closely associated with the sunlit, relaxed visual language of late-1950s pinup photography. The spread placed Weber on a secluded Florida beach, turning a simple picnic into the setting for swimming, sunbathing and an evening fire by the shore. The concept was deliberately uncomplicated, allowing the atmosphere—and Weber herself—to carry the photographs.

The collaboration with Yeager became the strongest photographic landmark of Weber’s public career. Rather than disappearing after one magazine appearance, she continued modeling for other men’s publications through the late 1950s and into the early 1960s. Those assignments kept her circulating within the commercial glamour world during a period when outdoor photography, pinup imagery and increasingly sophisticated magazine layouts were rapidly evolving together.

Weber also explored acting, picking up occasional film and television work alongside modeling. The screen appearances remained modest and never displaced photography as the central thread of her career, but they added another professional avenue during the same period. Her path was less a dramatic leap from centerfold to Hollywood than a working model taking whatever camera opportunities made sense as they arrived.

Eventually Weber stepped away from sustained public visibility and kept much of her later life private. That leaves the Yeager session as the clearest surviving statement of her Playboy years: an uncomplicated beach pictorial built around sunlight, water and an easy naturalism that suited both photographer and subject. In a decade crowded with elaborate studio pinups, Weber’s images endure precisely because they never needed much scenery beyond the Florida shore.
