Shay Knuth Bio
Shay Knuth is an American Playboy Bunny, glamour and nude model. She was born on May 29, 1945, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Playboy named her its September 1969 Playmate at 24. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.
Knuth has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 36-23-35.
Her centerfold, photographed by Dwight Hooker, captured her radiant beauty and Midwestern charm. At the time of her pictorial, Shay was a sociology student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and working as a Bunny at the Playboy Resort in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
Her Playmate appearance propelled her into the Playboy spotlight. She went on to grace the covers of the January 1970 and December 1970 issues of Playboy, solidifying her status as one of the most memorable Playmates of her era. She later appeared in the April 1984 "Playmates Forever" pictorial, proving her timeless appeal.
Shay's connection with Playboy extended far beyond her centerfold. She worked as a Bunny at both the San Francisco and London Playboy Clubs, mingling with the elite and embodying the Playboy lifestyle. Later, she became the "Official Party Coordinator" for the legendary Studio 54, a role that placed her at the heart of New York's iconic nightlife scene during its golden era.
A true Playboy icon, Shay Knuth was more than just a stunning centerfold-she was an international socialite, a party queen, and a symbol of sophistication and beauty in the golden age of Playboy.
