Terri Kimball

Playboy Playmate of The Month for May 1964

Terri Kimball Bio

Terri Kimball is an American Playboy Bunny, glamour and nude model. She was born on October 5, 1944, in Fort Myers, Florida. Playboy named her its May 1964 Playmate at 19. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.

Kimball has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 36-23-36.

Her centerfold was shot by the magazine’s veteran photographer Pompeo Posar, a choice that foregrounded an easy, unfussy poise rather than high-gloss artifice. The images favor clarity over ornament—an editorial decision that let Kimball’s Midwestern reserve read as elegance on the page.

Long before the spread, she was part of the nightclub side of the business, working at the Playboy Club in Chicago where the uniformed glamour of the room and the nightly rituals of service and spectacle were themselves a kind of training ground. Those years on the floor put her inside the brand’s social life at a moment when the clubs were as central to the Playboy story as the magazine’s photography.

Playboy also became a family affair: her daughter, Farrah Mancini, later posed for the publication, a private echo of one generation’s pages in the next. Between the centerfold, the club circuit and that cross-generational thread, Kimball’s association with the magazine reads less like a single moment of exposure than a modest career stitched into the social fabric of Playboy’s midcentury world.
