What a magnificent looking woman, she's an absolutely stunner from any era - you'd never believe these pics were taken 43 years ago!

Donna Michelle (born 8 December 1945 in Los Angeles, California - died 9 April 2004 in Ukiah, California) was the adopted name of Donna M. Ronne, an American model, actress and photographer. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its December 1963 issue, and was the Playmate of the Year for 1964. Her original pictorial was photographed by Pompeo Posar and Edmund Leja.

As a child, Michelle studied ballet for several years and had performed with the New York City Ballet.

At the time of her photo session with Playboy, Michelle was 17 years old. For a time she was involved with Hugh Hefner.

Michelle studied theater arts in college and had a brief acting career before turning to photography. She photographed a pictorial for Playboy for the April 1974 issue called "Donna Clicks."

In 2003, the Caribbean island nation of Grenada honored Playboy magazine's 50th anniversary with a series of postage stamps. Donna's May 1964 cover photo graces one of those stamps.

Michelle died on 9 April 2004 in Ukiah, California. She suffered a heart attack while shopping at a local supermarket.
