Madonna 1985 Playboy cover girl
In 1985, Jim might have been desperately seeking Susan, but Hef was definitely seeking Madonna. Madge stripped down for Playboy, like a virgin, posing for Hugh for the very first time. Madonna’s cover got plenty of attention and turned lots of heads.
Brooke Burke 2004 Playboy cover girl
Brooke Burke may have been a Valerie Bertinelli look-alike back in the day, but this “Dancing with the Stars” alum and co-host is proof that you can still be a mom and be sexy (even without Jenny Craig). In 2004, she graced the cover of Playboy. Va-va-voom, Brooke!
Carmen Electra 2009 Playboy cover girl
“Baywatch” gal Carmen Electra posed for Playboy in the 90s and gained attention for her sexy figure and seductive eyes. In 2009, she graced the cover of Hugh Hefner’s mag for the special 55th anniversary issue. Just take one look at her picture and it’s obvious why Hef chose her for the coveted role.
