Linda Gamble Bio 
Linda Gamble is an American iconic glamour model, and actress. She was born on September 11, 1939, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Playboy named her its April 1960 Playmate at 20. She was later named Playmate of the Year 1961. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.
Gamble has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 38-23-37.
Her centerfold, photographed by Frank Eck, focused on a poised, classical look rather than spectacle; the spread presented Gamble as a study in measured glamour and quiet composure, the sort of image that found a ready audience in glossy magazines of the period.
After her Playmate appearance she retreated from sustained public life, relocating to Florida and keeping a low profile instead of chasing an expanded career in acting or additional high‑visibility modeling. Friends and brief contemporary notices remembered a model who preferred privacy to publicity, and there are few later credits to trace.
What remains most visible today is that single, carefully made magazine sequence: Eck’s pictures and the surrounding publicity distilled a particular, camera‑friendly balance of poise and classic beauty. For collectors and students of mid‑century magazine imagery, those pages are the clearest record of Linda Gamble’s time in front of the lens.
