Career
Cynthia Myers was the first Playboy Playmate born in the 1950s when she appeared in the magazine in December 1968. The pictures were shot in June 1968 when she was 17 years old,[15] but it was Playboy's policy by that time to wait until a Playmate turned 18 before her pictures would be published. Her centerfold was photographed by Pompeo Posar.
After her magazine debut, Myers made frequent appearances on Hugh Hefner's Playboy After Dark TV series in 1969. She took a leading role as the sensitive lesbian rock and roll singer and bass player, Casey Anderson, in Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. She followed that with a supporting role in the 1972 Western, Molly and Lawless John.
Myers died of lung cancer in Los Angeles, California at the age of 61.[16]
