Karen Elaine Morton (born 3 October 1958 in Palmdale, California) was Playboy's Miss July 1978. She holds the distinction of having the smallest breast size – 32B – of any Playboy Playmate and possibly the smallest BMI (15.3).
Popular speculation suggests that the July 1978 issue had the lowest newsstand sales of any summertime issue of Playboy during the 1970s, which is explained because of the combination of an underwhelming cover, pictorials, and Playmate curves.
Later on, Karen had a small part in the Mel Brooks film History of the World, Part I (1981), where she played a Vestal virgin.
Today, Karen make appearances at autograph shows all over the country. In 2004 she was stricken with an illness called Stevens Johnson syndrome , which left her practically blind. Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has helped her find treatment for her vision.
Karen's cousin, Elaine Morton was also a playmate, appearing in the June 1970 issue of Playboy.
