Cindy Fuller Bio
Cindy Fuller was an American professional swimmer and Playboy model. She was born Cindy Fuller Martino on May 13, 1938, in Boston, Massachusetts. Playboy named her its May 1959 Playmate at 20. Her appearance dates from the magazine's formative 1950s, when the Playmate format was still taking shape.
Fuller had natural breasts, brown eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 35-24-36.
Cindy Fuller left behind the quiet routine of a Boston law office for a considerably wetter kind of ambition. Swimming was serious enough to pull her south to Miami, where sunshine, warm water and an active aquatic scene offered the possibility of turning a favorite pastime into professional work. Shortly before her Playboy appearance was published, Fuller secured an assignment with the Water Follies, giving the move to Florida a purpose beyond simply escaping New England weather.
Miami also placed her in front of Bunny Yeager, whose photography had become closely associated with the city’s distinctive mixture of glamour, beach culture and outdoor light. Yeager photographed Fuller’s centerfold, creating a natural connection between the swimmer’s new Florida life and the magazine’s increasingly polished late-1950s visual style.
Playboy extended that Miami setting beyond the centerfold itself. Fuller also appeared among the women featured in a ten-page party spread elsewhere in the issue, placing her within a broader portrait of the city’s social and leisure culture rather than isolating her in a studio concept.
Fuller’s documented public career remained relatively brief, but its central turn is unusually clear: secretary in Boston, aspiring professional swimmer in Miami, Water Follies performer and Playboy model. What survives is a compact story built around one decisive change of scenery—leaving the office behind for a life organized around water.
