For years, the whereabouts of PMOM April 1965 Sue Williams were unknown—she had simply disappeared after making a few beach movies. Then, about 15 years ago, it was reported on several websites that she had committed suicide (by shooting herself in the chest) in September 1969, at age 23.

Now it turns out that confusion about her real name, combined with PBOY's practice of publishing false names and backgrounds for many of its models (cf. Ashlyn Martin, Maria McBane), led the world to mistake Sue Williams for an actress named Karen Sue Hamilton, who did commit suicide.

So Sue Williams might well be with us still, though she has apparently kept a very low profile, and her whereabouts are still unknown.

One could start a list of just Playboy Centerfolds, models,etc., that have seem to have passed away, some at a very young age. there is a site that talks about a "curse" for/on Playmates.

Someone already did it, it is a playmate database where one can select "deceased models" (and RIP to all of them)

The various websites that keep track of PMOM deaths seem to have missed the model for August 1957: Dolores Donlon, who apparently had the earliest birth date of all the centerfold girls. She was born Patricia Vaniver on September 19, 1920,* in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She died on November 30, 2012, in Philly.

According to the URL ortogonale posted above, the sites also missed Delores Wells (June 1960) on February 9, 2016, at age 78.

More recently, Janet Pilgrim (who appeared three times in the mid-1950s) died on May 1 at age 82.

*Early in her career, Dolores Donlon claimed a birth year of 1926, which is often reported.
