CYNTHIA MYERS - REST IN PEACE

I’ve just discovered that we lost December 1968 Playboy Playmate Cynthia Myers to lung cancer in early November of last year. She was 61 at the time of her death. I hadn’t even known she was ill.

Cynthia was a particular favorite of our GI’s serving in Vietnam in the days following her Playboy appearance. Looking at the pictures below, it’s really not difficult to see why this was so.

Because of her rather large bust, she appeared in Russ Meyer’s then X-rated “Beyond The Valley of the Dolls” and she talks about this in the extras section of the DVD release of BVD.

BVD on DVD now has the rating of “NC-17” and I managed to get it at Wal-Mart before any of the sales associates realized what the movie was and removed it from store shelves.

Cynthia will be missed, especially by those teenage boys whom she unknowingly helped pull through puberty. Present company included.

Rest well, sweetheart.
