Playmate of the Month

The tall, blonde bombshell also developed an early interest in modeling.

After graduating high school, she began working for Western Union and later transferred to San Francisco — but the position she had been promised never materialized. Instead, she crossed paths with a young, ambitious photographer named Russ Meyer.

By the 1950s, she had become a prominent pin-up model, blending poise, confidence, and sensuality in a way that caught the public’s attention.

In June 1955, she was featured as Playboy magazine’s Playmate of the Month, a milestone that significantly raised her profile and cemented her status as one of the era’s most celebrated models.

Her appearance in the magazine reflected the changing cultural landscape, highlighting a new brand of glamour and independence for women in media.

Eve’s modeling career naturally led her to the world of cinema.

In 1952, she married Russ Meyer, they developed a partnership that became both personally and professionally significant. For several years, they lived in a modern hillside home overlooking the Sunset Strip, sharing their space with a dog and a cat.
