The following is a list of Playboy Playmates of 1969, the 15th anniversary year of the publication. Playboy magazine names their Playmate of the Month each month throughout the year.
Lorrie was one of several Playmates who were pregnant at the time of her shoot. This was not mentioned in her Playmate article, nor was it mentioned that she was married, both common occurrences at the time when biographical details about Playmates were obscured or enhanced by the magazine.
Lorrie raised four children. One of her children is Ashlee Ricci, also a Playboy model. Lorrie attends Glamourcon events with her daughter.
Sally Sheffield (born June 17, 1941, in Brooklyn, New York) was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the May 1969 issue.

When she appeared in the October 1969 issue of Playboy, Bell was only the second African American woman to appear as the centerfold (the first was Jennifer Jackson, in March 1965). Her centerfold was photographed by Don Klumpp. A few months later, Bell became the first black person to appear on the magazine's cover. Bell was featured with four other playmates in the January 1970 cover of the magazine.
After Bell's appearance in Playboy, she enjoyed a brief acting career, working on such films as Mean Streets and The Klansman, sometimes credited as Jeanne Bell. She posed nude again for Playboy in the December 1979 pictorial "Playmates Forever!"

Early in the morning of October 3, 1979, Jennings died in a car accident when a van hit her while she was driving her Volkswagen Beetle convertible. She was 29 years old.
