Merci Montello
Nude

Combine the words Playboy and hot blonde with a bangin’ bod and suddenly you have Mr. Skin‘s full attention! Skin-ful actress and model Merci Montello was a Playboy Playmate in December of 1972, making that annum a contender for Best Year Ever. The Jersey girl was married to Mickey Rooney Jr., whom she met as a Bunny at the Los Angeles Playboy Club, and who can blame the man for marrying the 36-23-35 blue-eyed blonde? In her centerfold, Merci’s ambition was “to become an actress.” She got her wish with Space Thing (1968), a three-B out-of-this-world look at the classic beauty. She followed that up with Erika’s Hot Summer (1970), where she shared skin time with Erica Gavin. The 3 B’ bonanza started about 20 minutes in for Merci, when she shows us full frontal before getting plowed on a furry bedspread. A few minutes later we get yet another supple shot of her breasts and bush in a post-sex pose on the bed. Her next movie was The Single Girls (1973). It wasn’t a great vehicle for nudity, but Montello looked sexy as hell nonetheless. Merci ended her career getting killed in Bloody Friday (1974), a skinless entry in her short film résumé, but still enough for Mr. Skin to say mercy, Merci. The crew at Skin Central will continue to plumb the depths of cinema history in hopes of finding more skin-ful work from dear Merci. There’s always a chance we’ll come across some obscure sexual displays we can add to her skin-ography!
