Teddi Smith Bio
Teddi Smith is an American Playboy Bunny, glamour and nude model. She was born Delilah Henry on September 21, 1942, in Hastings, Nebraska. Playboy named her its July 1960 Playmate. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.
Smith has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 37-22-35.
Her centerfold was photographed by William Graham and Edmund Leja, two of the studio names that helped shape Playboy’s glossy look in the period. Those sessions put Smith’s photographs into circulation beyond a single spread, placing her image in the same photographic tradition that the magazine cultivated during the early 1960s.
After the shoot she took up work on the other side of the brand’s operation, serving as a Bunny at the Chicago Playboy Club. Contemporaneous accounts and club records note that she was a recognizable presence on the floor, a familiar face to regular patrons who came to the clubs as much for the company as the cocktails.
Smith’s association with the magazine extended well past that initial centerfold: she appeared on the cover of Playboy on five separate occasions across the early-to-mid 1960s. Those recurring cover slots kept her in the magazine’s visual rotation at a moment when cover images still played a large role in a publication’s public identity.
Taken together, the photographers’ credits, the club work and the multiple covers sketch a compact career within Playboy’s orbit rather than a single breakout moment. The record of those assignments preserves her as one of the faces the magazine circulated through its pages and clubs during a defining decade for its brand.
