I can't believe Cynthia Myers has passed away...

**Mad_Hatter** · November 5th, 2011, 08:59 PM

I had always hoped to see her! She was only 61 years old!

Details about her death have yet to be revealed, but Hefner broke the news on his twitter page on Friday (04Nov11), writing, "I'm saddened by the news of the passing of beloved Playmate Cynthia Myers, Miss December 1968."

Here's an article written years ago by her friend Steve Sullivan:

In December of 1968 I was a 12-year old boy, just beginning to learn what girls and women were all about. My family went to a friend's house for a Christmas party, and I went because their son - who was 15 - had a great collection of comic books. After dinner I was up in his room reading comics, and he asked me if I wanted to read something more interesting. When I replied "Sure", he pulled the December 1968 Playboy out from under his mattress and handed it to me. Before I got much of a chance to really look at the magazine, my parents were calling up the stairs saying it was time to leave.

I was about to leave, when their son came up behind me, lifted my coat up, pulled my shirt out of my pants, jammed the magazine down my pants, and covered it up. I rode in mild pain for over an hour back to our home, with this magazine digging into my ass and lower back - scared to adjust it for fear I'd be discovered. Finally, we made it home and I was able to retreat to my room and read my treasure!

Cynthia Myers was the first girl/woman I ever saw nude, and I fell in instant love with her! Her stunning figure, those pendulous breasts, but most of all... those beautiful dark eyes! I remember spending many hours looking at her gatefold, and wondering what was going on behind those deep, dark eyes.

As the years went by, there would be other Playmates that I'd admire - but none ever moved me like Cynthia did, because she was the first. Occasionally I'd see her mentioned in Playboy - most recently when the Schlitz beer advertisements with her were published - but after the mid-70's she seemed to vanish from sight. The acting career didn't seem to pan out, and she kind of fell off the radar.

A couple of years ago, I found her website, and ordered two pictures - a nude side profile of her smiling at the camera, and an autographed B&W publicity headshot that she autographed to me. I had hoped to someday meet her - maybe at a Glamourcon convention somewhere - but sadly, that will now never happen.

Cynthia had been voted the #10 Playmate of the Century by Playboy, but to me she was #1 - then, now, and forever.

Goodbye Cynthia, God be with you.

Peace for her

I was born in 1970...so I missed out on her in 68...but when I saw Beyond the valley of the dolls...I couldn't believe how beautiful she was. I didn't think women that hot existed in the 60s...not to mention those breasts. Sad to hear this. Who would have believed hef would outlive her.

When I first saw her in Playboy magazine, I said Wholly Toledo! So did her article. On the Internet, it has been said she had football shaped boobs.
I think they are more bullet shaped, myself.

The worst part of her dieing is that she was friends with Jill Taylor and she managed to tell Jill's fans what happened to Jill. Jill went from Jewish to Christian after her article. She got married had 3 sons and divorced, remarried and divorced 3 times.
Jill is 40 Lbs overweight and has a double chin now. Her hair is short and dyed dark. Her hair is mousy grey. She is almost unrecognizable. She cleans houses for a living, scrubbing toilets. That is what CM said. Tragic. I do not know the cause of death. Many tend to die when they age to 61 years old. It is that age when people go senile and do not get repaired by their doctors.

You're scaring me - I'm two weeks older than the late Cynthia.

The latest that I have heard is that she died of lung cancer. Cigarettes claim another victim.
