The beautiful women who have graced our pages over the past 50 years have been too numerous to count. (Trust us, we’ve asked interns to try, and well, they keep getting distracted.) Yet certain stars have shone so brightly through the decades that they have earned their rightful place in our 50th Collector’s Edition.
Some caught their first big break in HUSTLER; others chose to shoot for us at the height of their careers. To narrow down the list to the 15 industry powerhouses who follow was a near-impossible task. At times it brought this staff to fisticuffs. And we apologize in advance if your favorite did not make it into these pages. Difficult choices had to be made for us to happily celebrate HUSTLER: THE STARS.
We humbly recognize these performers as our bread and butter and bow down before their beauty and prowess. As Larry said, “I’ve always felt that women are at their most glorious when they’re in their birthday suits. And if there’s anything in my life that I ever felt like worshiping, it was a woman.”
