About Felicia Atkins

Felicia Atkins (born April 5, 1937, in Australia) is an American nude model and stripper of Australian descent. She was Playboy magazine’s Playmate of the Month for the April 1958 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Bruno Bernard and Bill Bridges.

Atkins was a showgirl at the Tropicana Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, in their Las Vegas rendition of the “Folies Bergère”, which is how she was discovered by Playboy. (The issue she was featured in had a Vegas theme.) She holds the record for the longest tenure in the Tropicana's long-running Folies-Bergère revue (19 years). She was the maid of honor at the marriage of Phillip Crosby, son of Bing Crosby, to fellow Tropicana showgirl Sandra Drummond, whilst she was dating Phillip's brother Gary Crosby.
