Career
She was Playboy magazine"s Playmate of the Month for the January 1958 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Arthur James and Mike Shea. Elizabeth"s pictorial was a significant one in the history of Playboy because she was only 16 at the time her photos were taken.
Hefner was brought before a domestic relations court on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The charges were eventually dropped on the grounds of lack of evidence that Hefner had known her true age. Roberts eventually became a Bunny at the Chicago Playboy Club.
Her centerfold can be seen in animated form in Ralph Bakshi"s film American Population
