Fran Gerard

Fran Gerrard (March 23, 1948—May 30, 1985) was an American model. She was the Playboy Playmate for March 1967.

Fran Gerrard was born Frances Anna Camuglia on March 23, 1948, in Staten Island, New York, to Frank Camuglia (1924–2010) and Jessie DeRosa Camuglia (1928–2016). She had three siblings: Louise, Rosario, and Jeanette. She grew up in Los Angeles, California, where she attended the Granada Hills High School.

Fran began modeling at a young age and worked as an assistant for an astrologer named Jack Gemini in Los Angeles. She was seen as the Playboy Playmate for the March 1967 issue. Although she doesn't wear glasses, she wore glasses for the photo shoot and was the first ever model to be shown wearing glasses in the centerfold. She was photographed by Mario Casilli and Gene Trindl.

Her hobbies included reading, listening to jazz music, and antique hunting.

Fran was married to Jack Cavender briefly in 1966, then married Max Rey in 1970.

At age 37, Fran committed suicide on May 30, 1985, in Fountain Valley, California. She is buried at Fairhaven Memorial Park in Santa Ana, California.

I like to think the stars are right about me…It tells me here, for instance, 'Much of your beauty is centered in your natural poise, in the way you hold your head, sometimes tossing it high in defiance, at other times bringing your piercing gaze to bear on the speaker. You are a natural-born leader, work well with other people and always know how to achieve group ends.' I hope I don't sound too immodest if I say I think it's true.

As an Aries, I'm under the planet Mars which means I have a great deal of natural courage, a love of pioneering, testing, experimenting, and investigating.

I've always heard men don't like girls who wear glasses, but I actually don't believe it's true. Most men I know don't seem to care. Even if they did, though, I'm just not a person who would rather be blind as a bat than be seen with glasses on. It just isn't worth it just have to go through life looking like a schoolmarm.

I love to swim and ski. I think I had tried everything, but skiing when the man at the Viking Ski Shop offered to teach me to ski. Well, everything, but football and boxing maybe. Anyways, it turned out to be a lot of fun.
