Greek Baring Gifts: Really, Playboy?

Back in 1965, Playboy broke new ground, with a centerfold who wasn't from the good ol' US of A.

Jessica St. George was from Greece. Unfortunately, the best the editors could manage for a headline was Greek Baring Gifts.

Fine. Fortunately, the title was accurate. As for the personal aspect, when asked to list the people she admired, Ms. St. George name-checked Helen of Troy and JFK.
