June Cochran Bio 
June Cochran was an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born June Cochran Englehart on February 20, 1942, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Playboy named her its December 1962 Playmate at 20. She was later named Playmate of the Year 1963. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.
Cochran had natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 36-20-34.
June Cochran arrived at Playboy with experience in the pageant world already behind her. She won the Miss Indiana USA title in 1960 and later held the Miss Indiana World title in 1962, competing nationally on both occasions. Those contests gave her an early familiarity with formal presentation, judging panels and publicity before magazine modeling became the more visible part of her career.
Her original Playboy pictorial was photographed by Don Bronstein, whose studio work gave the session the polished, composed quality associated with the magazine’s early-1960s photography. Cochran also worked as a Bunny at the Chicago Playboy Club, placing her inside the company’s expanding nightlife operation as well as its editorial pages. The Club offered a different kind of performance from a photo session: constant interaction with guests, carefully rehearsed service and the highly recognizable Bunny presentation that was becoming inseparable from the Playboy name.
Cochran continued to appear in promotional and public-facing work after her magazine success, remaining connected to the entertainment world beyond still photography. One later television credit was the 1981 special Command Performance: The Stars Salute the President, a reminder that her camera work extended well beyond the period in which she first became known to Playboy readers.
Her public career was never built around a long acting filmography or a single defining screen role. Instead, it moved through pageants, Playboy photography, Club work and occasional television appearances, all of them relying on the same ease before an audience. Cochran died in Madison, Wisconsin, in 2004, leaving behind a compact but distinctive record from a period when Playboy’s magazine, Clubs and promotional world were increasingly feeding into one another.
