In Loving Memory of Margie Harrison

Born November 3, 1931 - Passed Away December 23, 2006

This memorial website was created in the memory of Margie Harrison , born in Chicago, Illinois on November 3, 1931 and passed away on December 23, 2006 at 75 years of age.

Margie Harrison is an American adult model.

Strictly speaking, Margie Harrison is the first Playboy centerfold as well as Playmate of the Month, in Playboy's second issue of January 1954, and returned again as June 1954 playmate. Marilyn Monroe preceded her as a Playboy "Sweetheart of the Month" in their first issue of November 1953, but did not appear in the center pages; rather she appeared on pages 16 to 18, making Harrison the first official Playmate of the Month.

Like Monroe, Harrison's photo was purchased from the John Baumgarth Company, which specialized in pin-up calendars. According to The Playmate Book, Harrison also appeared in the men's magazines Follies and Gala. She also appeared in two short pin-up films Aqua Nudes with Candy Paige and Hot Summer Nights with Barbara Lyles, Virginia Bell, and Cherrie Knight.
