2. Marilyn Monroe
Had anyone less than Marilyn Monroe graced the first cover of Playboy back in 1953, it could be argued that the magazine wouldn't be around today. However, Monroe's stylish beauty launched the magazine and put it on track to what it has become more than five decades later. Playboy's first cover featured a photo of Marilyn Monroe wearing a dress with a low, risqué neckline, taken at the 1952 Miss America parade. The nude photo inside the magazine was actually taken in 1949 at a calendar shoot. In 1955, Monroe appeared on the magazine's cover again. Long after her death, Monroe's impact on Playboy is clear — copies of the first edition of the magazine have sold for thousands of dollars, and the magazine has featured several pictorials of Monroe-look-alike.

3. Anna Nicole Smith
In 1992 Smith was chosen by Hugh Hefner to appear on the cover of the March issue of Playboy, where she was listed as Vickie Smith, wearing a low-cut evening gown. The centerfold was photographed by Stephen Wayda. Smith said she planned to be "the next Marilyn Monroe". Becoming one of Playboy's most popular models, Smith was heavier and larger than the typical Playboy model. Smith was chosen to be the 1993 Playmate of the Year. By the time of her PMOY pictorial, she had settled on the name Anna Nicole Smith.
Smith secured a contract to replace supermodel Claudia Schiffer in the Guess jeans ad campaign in a series of sultry black and white photographs. Guess capitalized on Smith's strong resemblance to Jayne Mansfield and put her in Jayne-inspired photo sessions. In 1993, before Christmas, she modeled for the Swedish clothing company Hennes & Mauritz (H&M). She appeared on big posters in Sweden and Norway.
A photograph of Smith was used by New York magazine on the cover of its August 22, 1994 issue titled White Trash Nation. In the photo, she appears squatting in a short skirt and cowboy boots as she eats chips. In October 1994, Smith's lawyer initiated a $5,000,000 lawsuit against the magazine claiming unauthorized use of her photo and that the article had damaged her reputation. Her lawyer said that Smith was told she was being photographed to embody the "all-American-woman look", and that they wanted glamor shots. He further stated that the picture used was taken for fun during a break
