Astrid Schulz

Playboy Playmate of The Month for September 1964

Astrid Schulz Bio Editors Choice

Astrid Schulz was a Dutch actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on September 12, 1939, in Heemstede, Netherlands, and has also been credited as Astrid Schultz. Playboy named her its September 1964 Playmate at 24. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.

Schulz had natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 36-23-36.

Astrid Schulz’s centerfold carried an uncommon passport: it was, in its time, the first appearance in the American magazine by a Dutch-born model, and Mario Casilli’s lens leaned into that continental polish rather than studio theatricality. The pictorial read less like a posed declaration than a quiet exercise in cosmopolitan poise — clean lines, soft light, an editorial taste for understatement that suggested experience in more than one fashion capital.

That experience was real and European: before the feature she worked as a model across France, Belgium and the Netherlands, a route that supplied both varied assignments and an adaptable professional manner. Fluent in French and English, she brought a practical multilingualism to bookings and publicity that helped her move between markets and photographers with ease; the result was a portfolio of looks rather than a single type.

Schulz also crossed briefly into film, taking a screen turn in A House Is Not a Home, a credit that framed her not only as a subject for still photography but as someone comfortable with performance under lights. Taken together — the continental modeling résumé, the languages, the movie credit — her record made the centerfold feel less like an isolated appearance and more like one episode in a genuinely international career.
