Jennifer Jackson (model)

Jennifer Jackson (born February 6, 1945) is an American model who was chosen as Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the March 1965 issue.[1] She was the first Black Playmate of the Month and was photographed by Pompeo Posar.[1] Jackson also worked as a Playboy Bunny in a Playboy Club.[2]

In October 2017, Cooper Hefner, son of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, announced that Ines Rau would appear as "Playmate of the Month" in the magazine's November/December 2017 issue, making her the first openly transgender woman to be featured this way.[3][4][5] Hefner likened the choice to feature Rau to his father's decision to feature Jackson as the first African-American model to appear in Playboy as a Playmate in 1965.[3]
