Ann Davis Bio
Ann Davis is an American glamour and nude model. She was born on June 17, 1938, in Brookville, Ohio. Playboy named her its September 1960 Playmate at 22. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.
Davis has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 38-20-35.
Ann Davis approached modeling as a profession rather than a passing adventure. She had attended the University of Cincinnati and made no secret of wanting to become a top-level model, while keeping a lively collection of interests outside the studio. Singing and dancing appealed to her, and she was just as happy golfing, swimming or horseback riding when she had the time.
Her Playboy pictorial was photographed by Don Bronstein, whose composed framing gave the session a polished, almost formal quality. The photographs emphasize line, posture and expression rather than elaborate staging, allowing Davis to carry the images through poise rather than spectacle.
What made the feature particularly unusual was Playboy’s decision to bring fine-art illustration into the mix. Several prominent artists produced their own interpretations of Davis, including LeRoy Neiman. Photographs and drawings consequently shared the same editorial space, turning the pictorial into something closer to a compact art portfolio than a conventional glamour spread.
Davis’s own tastes were considerably less complicated. She valued good food and plenty of rest, enjoyed the company of men but had little patience for anyone convinced he already knew everything. Reliable information about her later public life is limited, leaving the Bronstein photographs and accompanying artwork as the clearest record of her time in the spotlight—a brief but unusually art-minded entry in Playboy’s early-1960s archive.
