Last year, Playboy announced they would no longer feature nude photographs of models. The last issue that will have naked pictures in it will be the January/February 2016 edition. No better way for the magazine to end their reign as the nudie magazine king than with one of the biggest Playboy stars ever, Pamela Anderson.

In the special double issue of the magazine, Anderson is on the cover and in a 12-page pictorial. This spread will be the Playboy star’s 14^th cover and 15^th pictorial. The article is actually written by fellow actor and frequent Playboy contributor, James Franco. In the interview, Anderson reflects on everything from her very first shoot to how she lives her life.

Anderson is the last of a long list of Playboy stars who have posed nude for the magazine over its more than 50 years of publication. Let’s take a look at some of the famous women who have graced the magazine’s pages.
