Ken’s Notes:   “Charlotte Kemp was chosen as Playboy Magazine’s Playmate of the Month in December 1982. She had been a competitive swimmer in the Junior Olympics and was also the first “Miss Budweiser”. She went on to become an actress, model, writer (2 books), and video producer, and was the first Playmate ever to receive a license from Playboy Enterprises, Inc.

This photo was taken during Charlotte’s centerfold layout shoot. In addition to the large 8×10 transparencies that were needed for the three page printed gatefold, 35mm ‘small camera’ candids and glamour images were used throughout the layout..“
