Priscilla Wright

Playboy Playmate of The Month for March 1966

Priscilla Wright Bio

Priscilla Wright is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Priscilla Reisman on November 20, 1943, in Santa Barbara, California. Playboy named her its March 1966 Playmate at 22. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.

Wright has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-19-35.

Wright’s centerfold was shot by Mario Casilli, whose polished, fashion-inflected portraiture lent the spread a quietly sophisticated sheen. The photograph favors gentle, directional light and composed, camera-friendly posing—choices that frame her as both glamorous and composed rather than theatrical. Mentioning the photographer gives a specific technical hand to an image often remembered more for mood than for flash.

That composed mood is where much of the centerfold’s appeal lives: a warm, inviting smile, a poised posture and the kind of soft glamour Casilli specialized in. Those elements combine to make the picture less a moment than a portrait—an image that asks to be looked at rather than merely consumed. Contemporary notes and later recollections treat the shot as an example of the magazine’s midcentury portrait style, one of Casilli’s quieter successes rather than a bravura stunt.

Her time in the spotlight around that photograph was comparatively brief, but the centerfold has shown the staying power of a single well-made portrait. For collectors and fans who follow that era’s imagery, the picture endures as a tasteful example of studio polish and restrained sensuality.
