DeDe Lind (born Diane Lind) was an American glamour model famous for her appearance in Playboy magazine as the Playmate of the Month for August 1967.

Biography[]

Playboy[]

Lind's photographer friend, Leon, talked her into testing for Playboy. At 19, she was selected to be the Playboy Playmate for August 1967. The photography was done by Mario Casilli. Lind received more fan mail than any other Playboy Playmate in history.[2][3]

Lind's color likeness traveled to space.[4] The November 1969 Playboy calendar photo of Lind was on Apollo XII. The ground crew for the mission stashed the photo, which they labeled "MAP OF A HEAVENLY BODY" inside a locker aboard the command module Yankee Clipper.[5] Astronaut Richard Gordon, the commander of the Yankee Clipper, put the photo up for auction in 2011[6] for a minimum bid of US$1000 (equivalent to $1,150 in 2020).[7] The winning bid was for US$21,013.20 (equivalent to $24,175 in 2020).[8]

Later career[]

Lind appeared in the December 1979 issue of Playmates Forever and, in the early 1980s, in the first "Playmate Playoffs" special issue. Her video appearances for Playboy included Race Horses and a frontal-nudity appearance on a sailing yacht. She was also the subject for "Playmates Revisited" in the March 1996 issue.[citation needed]

As of 1999, Lind resided in Boca Raton, Florida.[9]
