HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

To June Wilkinson. When Hugh Hefner laid his eyes on this British Blonde Bombshell, he dubbed her “The Bosom” and she went on to grace the pages of Playboy a number of times. Hollywood couldn’t but help to take notice of her “talents” and she starred in such ’60s exploitation B-movie classics as Macumba Love, Career Girl, and Twist All Night.

You can read more about June Wilkinson in my upcoming book, Pin-ups and Playmates in Sixties Hollywood.
