Playmate of the Month November 1961 - Dianne Danford

VENUS WITH ARMS Fresh cause for Thanksgiving, our sharpshooting Miss November The well-known adage that in Hollywood the improbable is a strong possibility was never more agreeably demonstrated than by our discovery there of November Playmate Dianne Danford. We found her merrily potting clay pi ...geons at a skeet range.

Happily engauged in perfecting her already delightful form, our deadeye chick, who shucked Chicago's intemperate temperatures three years ago for California's more salubrious shores, proves a quick draw for masculine admirers (she scores 36-22-35).
