Well... for reasons beyond the comprehension of the writer, Hef invited 75-year-old stage and screen legend Shirley Jones to do a Playboy spread, which she agreed to and for which she showed up at the Mansion.

Shirley's husband, comedian Marty Ingles, also encouraged her to take the gig.

"I showed alot of leg and alot of skin and lots of cleavage" said Ms. Jones.  However, Hef told her that he wanted *egads* MORE NUDITY !

She declined, and so Hef has cancelled the spread.

There is so much wrong with this story that I do not even know where to start...  ;D

I thought they were pushing it when they did Barbie Benton after 10 years or so.  Shirley does look better than most 75 year old women, maybe they're doing it for those who had the hots for her when she did the Partridge Family?  I don't think too many under the age of 60 would be too thrilled about it.

Actually now that I think about it, I probably would rather see a spread on Shirley Jones than Barbi Benton.  That gal has been rode hard and put down wet...  ;D

I wouldn't want to see Shirley in the buff.  Maybe back in her Partridge days, but not as a 75 year old. 

My biggest, ahem, beef with Playboy is the homogeneity of their models.  Twenty-three years old, 36-23-36, meh, seen it before.  I like a little variety now and again!  So here's a toast to Hef!

Hey, when I saw his name up there, I thought he'd croaked.  Nowadays every time you turn around, another celebrity takes a dirt nap.

I still like her.... ::)

I agree with this entire post (and also thought he had croaked)...

If you remember so did Drew Carey as she played his older love interest in a few episodes.
I agree she looks pretty good at her age now but, I don't want to see her in the buff, but 25-30 yrs ago, why not? :D

Maybe he'll go to his 'fall-back' shoot with Phyllis Diller.

I think women of all ages can (not all) be beautiful & sexy. I say if a 75 year old woman wants to pose nude-that is up to her. I just hope that look half as good as she does when I am her age.

Well at 92, Phyllis would likely be the first nonagenarian to pose for Playboy.  ;D

Maybe Betty White is available too...

I'd rather see Phyllis Schlafly!  That's my kinda gal!

I couldn't agree more!  Just because a woman is older doesn't mean she can't be sexy.  Remember the pictures of Helen Mirren in the bikini?  She's gorgeous!

Thank you Ash!  ::)

What's with the eye roll?

And with the aging of the baby boomers, there's gonna be a lot more of them, so it might be beneficial to be partial to them!

I'll admit I noticed myself somewhat eager and intrigued by this, based on a younger version of Shirley which I had in my mind. I probably wouldn't buy the mag, but I'd sure give Mrs. Partridge a looksee  ;)  and while you're at it Hef, why not just make the entire Mag a theme of older women.  I'd be down for Julie Andrews (already seen her lobes in S.O.B.)  ::)    and there's Goldie Hawn, and Cher. Shirley isn't going to be enough of a draw to sell many mags, but my themed idea just may be enough to get a lot of us MAP's to buy a copy.  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/13/icon_rr.gif

Well while we're at it you want to throw in Katherine Ross, Ali McGraw, Mary Tyler Moore, and Maureen O'Hara.

I was also thinking of throwing in singer Lulu and Brady gal Maureen McCormack, but they'd be a little too young for this theme shoot.

they may be younger than some of these mature women, yet still old compared to the regular PLBY chicks. those are good choices, especially marcia brady and I forgot one. gotta get Mrs. Brady in there; Florence Henderson.        but definitely NOT Alice their maid.

Alice the Maid, a.k.a., Ann B Davis, would likely not agree to a Playboy spread because she has lived in a religious community for the past 20 years or so.
