Cynthia Myers (born September 12, 1950, in Toledo, Ohio) is an American model and actress, and Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the December 1968 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Pompeo Posar. Her centerfold quickly became a favorite of American troops in Vietnam, and it appears in the 1987 film Hamburger Hill.
After her magazine debut, Cynthia made frequent appearances on Hugh Hefner's Playboy After Dark TV series in 1969. Myers also appeared in a handful of movies. She made an uncredited appearance in They Shoot Horses, Don't They? before taking the leading role of the sensitive lesbian rock and roll singer and bass player Casey Anderson in Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. She followed this with a supporting role in the Western, Molly and Lawless John (1972).
Cynthia currently resides in southern California with her husband, whom she met on a fishing trip to Lake Mead, Nevada in 1981, and their son, Robert.
In 1994, it became known that Cynthia's centerfold photo (along with Angela Dorian, Reagan Wilson and Leslie Bianchini) was scanned and inserted into Apollo 12 Extra-vehicular_activity astronaut cuff checklists by pranksters at NASA[1] [2] [3].
