List of Playboy Playmates of 1969
Wikimedia list article
The following is a list of Playboy Playmates of 1969, the 15th anniversary year of the publication. Playboy magazine names their Playmate of the Month each month throughout the year.
January
Leslie Bianchini (born February 12, 1947) was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its January 1969 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Mario Casilli.
In 1994, it became known that Bianchini's centerfold photo (along with Angela Dorian, Reagan Wilson, and Cynthia Myers) was scanned and inserted into Apollo 12 extra-vehicular activity astronaut cuff checklists by pranksters at NASA.
February
Lorrie Menconi (born February 24, 1948, in Philadelphia, PA) was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its February 1969 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by William Figge and Ed DeLong.
Lorrie was one of several Playmates who were pregnant at the time of her shoot. This was not mentioned in her Playmate article, nor was it mentioned that she was married, both common occurrences at the time when biographical details about Playmates were obscured or enhanced by the magazine.
Lorrie raised four children. One of her children is Ashlee Ricci, also a Playboy model.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of Playboy Playmates of 1969” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11723209. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1969, 1947, 1994 and 1948.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
