Phyllis Diller was too sexy for Playboy

They had her pose for a spread, thinking it would be a great gag. Only one problem. Without the window dressing of her stage persona, she was hot! There was no way to make the layout funny.

"Diller, who had long obscured her figure with the trademark ill-fitting lamé dresses she often wore onstage, turned out to have a shapely, sexy physique--and a pretty face, too, under all her clownish makeup. To everyone's bewilderment (except maybe Phyllis Diller's), Phyllis Diller was a bombshell."

C'mon, Hef. Let's get crackin' on those pics, if you can remember the combination to your vault.
