About June Wilkinson

Lived 1940 – 2025 (aged 85). June Wilkinson was a British actor and model.

June Rose Wilkinson (27 March 1940 – 21 July 2025) was an English model and actress who appeared in Playboy magazine and in films of the 1960s. One of the world's most-photographed women in the late 1950s and early 1960s, at the height of her career she was called "the most photographed nude in America". She was married to NFL quarterback and B-movie star Dan Pastorini from 1973 to 1982.

Life and career June Wilkinson was born 27 March 1940 in Eastbourne, England. She was a brunette in those days, but in later shoots she was a blonde.

Wilkinson's second Playboy appearance was photographed by Russ Meyer. Meyer was an independent photographer at the time, and filming his ground-breaking The Immoral Mr. Teas (1959). Because she was under contract to Seven Arts at the time, Wilkinson could not officially appear in Meyer's film. However, as an uncredited and unpaid favor to the director, Wilkinson's breasts can be seen through a window in one scene. Wilkinson appeared in the 1960 voodoo film, Macumba Love, which promoted her measurements as "44-20-36". She had a brief role in John Cassavetes' 1962 film, Too Late Blues. They co-starred in the 1974 film Florida Connection (also known as Weed), for the producer of Rage. The couple divorced in 1982, and Wilkinson never remarried. She has a daughter, Brahna, by Pastorini.

In the 1970s–1980s Wilkinson starred in a series of sex comedy teasers, such as "Three in a Bedroom", "The Ninety-Day Mistress" (with Eve McVeagh) and "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?"

In 1997, in her late 50s, June came back for another nude shoot in The Best of Glamour Girls: Then and Now vol. 2 (Winter 1997). In 1999 when Playboy published its list of the "100 Sexiest Stars of the Century", June came in at #30.

Wilkinson died on 21 July 2025, at home in Long Beach, California, at the age of 85.
