Lindsay Lohan & 6 More Blonde Bombshells Who've Posed For Playboy
Have you seen the Lindsay Lohan edition of Playboy?
Tinseltown / Shutterstock In 2011, TMZ confirmed that Lindsay Lohan was shooting nude photos for Playboy.
The deal was in the works for months as Lohan reportedly asked for $1 million to show everyone her, errrr... goods. Well, at least it got her into the spotlight again. She reportedly earned $750,000 for her clothes-free duties at the Hugh Hefner palace.
As we all know, Hef loved his blondes. Lohan was hardly the first bombshell to appear on these celebrity Playboy covers.
Here are 6 other famous women who did it before her.
1. Marilyn Monroe
The Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe was featured in the first issue of Playboy, back when Hefner wasn't sure there would even be a second one.
Monroe was on the black and white cover wearing a dress, while the inside promised colored photos of her nude. At the time, the movie star said she was desperate for cash. After she did Playboy, that ceased to be the case.
2. Anna Nicole Smith
This beauty posed for Playboy in May 1992 at the peak of her career. Later, she suffered an eerily similar and tragic fate of an overdose as the blonde bombshell before her.
3. Pamela Anderson
She counts, we swear! Regardless of the fact that she showed up on the scene in 1990 as a brunette, the Baywatch star changed her hair color and has since appeared on 14 covers — the most of any of Hef's ladies.
The last time she appeared on the cover was for the final nude edition of Playboy in 2016, which was a double issue, and the last nude version of the magazine.
4. Jenny McCarthy
A bombshell of the 90s as well, Jenny McCarthy is arguably the funniest woman to pose for Playboy (and that body of hers sure did help!).
She was rumored to be Hef's favorite model because, as she revealed on Oprah in September 2010, she managed to shock everyone at her photoshoot.
"They said they never saw anyone as hairy as you in their entire life!" Oprah joked.
5. Dorothy Stratten
The Playmate of the Month in August 1979 was Dorothy Stratten, a beautiful blonde model/actress from Canada. In 1980, she was given the coveted title of Playmate of the Year.
Sadly, later that year Stratten was murdered by her estranged husband, a man Hugh Hefner himself had encouraged her to stay away from.
6. Shannon Tweed
You may have heard of Shannon Tweed since she married her beau of 28 years, Gene Simmons, and they have been married for 9 years now.
She shed it all for the November 1981 issue of Playboy, and she gave us plenty of advice on her reality show, Gene Simmons: Family Jewels.
