Linda Moon

Playboy Playmate of The Month for October 1966

Linda Moon Bio

Linda Moon is an American glamour and nude model. She was born Linda Moonves on September 24, 1948, in Detroit, Michigan. Playboy named her its October 1966 Playmate at 18. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.

Moon has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 39-24-36.

Moon’s Playboy centerfold was a rare three‑photographer collaboration, shot for the magazine by William Graham, Stan Malinowski and Gene Trindl. Their combined approach favored soft, fashion‑tinged portraiture—carefully lit vistas and posed informality that let a relaxed, youthful presence read through the frames rather than aggressive studio staging.

The pictures were made several months before publication and held until she was of legal age, a restraint that kept the spread on the side of delicate rather than provocative. That timing shows in the shoot’s tone: candid gestures, a light-handed retouching style and an emphasis on natural lines rather than theatrical costume or props.

Brief by design, the pictorial endures as an example of commercial‑photography craft—three steady hands shaping a single image that looks, today, like a study in luminous simplicity rather than an exercise in showmanship.
