Playboy November 1979

COVER STORY
Los Angeles model Phyllis McCreary posed for Executive Art Director Tom Staebler's camera to create this Harlow spoof for our annual Sex in Cinema roundup (see page 174). If you can't find the Rabbit, stop looking at Phyllis and look at the photos. Check the picture of Warren Beatty. If you can't find Warren Beatty, it's because he's half hidden by Paul Newman. See the lipstick marks? Phyllis is a creative kisser; yes, indeed. Chinese say, "Woman who kiss like rabbit all hopped up." (Harlow can you go?)
