![]() ![]() ![]() Now there’s people who make me look like Twiggy. In it she will elaborate on her date with Elvis, her Broadway run as the star of the racy comedy “Pajama Tops,” her 1972 marriage to NFL Houston Oilers (later Raiders, Rams and Eagles) quarterback Dan Pastorini and the time she was filmed for a black-and-white German comedy by some guy named Francis Ford Coppola.Īnd how does she feel today about “The Bosom,” the nickname Hefner bestowed on her? Says Wilkinson, (English accent still charmingly intact): “It was before bust jobs. She’s writing a memoir about her life as a pin-up girl (working title: “Hollywood or Bust”). “I have really good hair for an old lady,” she jokes. Now 77, Wilkinson looks fresh and fit, with hair as blonde and bouncy as ever. You can often find her at Palisades Tennis Club in Newport Beach, where her boyfriend of 15 years, Peter Hughes (a former Universal Studios exec), and daughter, Brahna Pastorini, both play. Wilkinson now splits her time between residences in Newport Beach and Palm Springs. The rest is history: After the 1958 shoot, Wilkinson dyed her hair platinum blonde and went on to become the most photographed nude woman in America, appearing in Playboy eight more times. ![]() Hugh Hefner, then based in Chicago, heard that a brunette bombshell was in town with what was later referred to by one writer as “the thoroughly upsetting mathematics of 43-22-36.” Hefner “rang her up” to ask if she would be kind enough to do a photo spread for Playboy. “I said, ‘Mom, we’re going to America!’ ” Wilkinson recalls. One day a businessman in the audience invited her to do a modeling job for his company at, of all things, a cutlery convention in Chicago. By 17 she was dancing at the Embassy Club. Wilkinson was 15 when she got her start as a topless fan dancer at London’s Windmill Theatre. Her photo appeared on hundreds of pages of men’s magazines.
