Reagan Wilson


Reagan Diana Wilson is an American model and actress who was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its October 1967 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Ron Vogel.

Early life

Wilson was born in Torrance, California, and attended Roosevelt Elementary School in Santa Monica. After her parents' divorce, she relocated to Missoula, Montana with her mother, younger brother and sister. She studied journalism at the University of Montana.

Career

Wilson began working as a model after relocating to Los Angeles, California in the late 1960s. She made her film debut the 1970 horror film Blood Mania with fellow Playmate Vicki Peters, and later appeared in the 1973 film Running with the Devil. Wilson later relocated to New York City where she did further modeling work, followed by jobs in Paris and London.
In 1968, Wilson appeared at a Men's Day event at the University of Washington in Seattle, which also featured a concert by Phil Ochs. Wilson was criticized for her appearance by feminist organizers, who chanted "Reagan Wilson, you are an empty vessel" at the event.
In November 1969, a nude photo of Wilson made a trip to the Moon. As a joke, NASA ground staff hid a small nude photo of her inside the schedule of Apollo 12's mission commander, Pete Conrad. A photograph of Pete Conrad in his spacesuit with the Lunar Module in the background can be enlarged to see her picture. Pete Conrad was the third man to walk on the Moon.
Wilson again posed nude for Playboy for the December 1979 pictorial "Playmates Forever!"

Personal life

Wilson married Barry Hornig in 1987. The couple own a textile rug company in Santa Monica, California.
