Playboy may not be the career launching pad that it once was, but Hugh Hefner's magazine will always have an important history for celebrities.
Various models, actresses, designers, and writers had their start at Playboy. Some of them are the ones you know — like Pamela Anderson and Anna Nicole Smith. But others, like Shel Silverstein and Cynthia Rowley, are more unexpected.
Here are 11 celebrities who can credit Playboy for starting their careers.
"General Hospital" actress Kelly Monaco was once a Playmate.
She was Playmate of the Month for the April 1997 issue and then started acting in various soap operas as well as a recurring role on "Baywatch."
Anna Nicole Smith appeared on a Playboy cover in 1992.
The model then became "Playmate of the Year" in 1993, and then her career really kicked into action. She went on to model for companies like Guess, H&M, and Lane Bryant.
Fashion designer Cynthia Rowley posed for the magazine in high school, in the 1970s.
She wore a sailor hat and a matching skirt that she designed herself, according to Fame Focus. She didn't show her parents the article.
