Willy Rey Bio
Willy Rey was a Dutch actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Wilhelmina Rietveld on August 25, 1949, in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Playboy named her its February 1971 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Rey had natural breasts, green eyes and red hair. Her measurements are 34-23-34.
Her stunning centerfold was captured by the legendary Mario Casilli. Willy moved to Canada with her family when she was just six years old, embracing a new life while retaining her striking Dutch beauty.
Her association with Playboy extended beyond the pages of the magazine-her nude likeness was famously featured on the stock certificate of Playboy Enterprises during its initial public offering on November 3, 1971. This made her one of the most recognizable Playmates in Playboy history, as her image became an enduring symbol of the brand's success.
Tragically, Willy Rey's life was cut short when she passed away from an overdose of barbiturates in Vancouver on August 19, 1973. Though gone too soon, she remains a part of Playboy history, remembered for her beauty, elegance, and the lasting impression she left on the magazine's legacy.
