Product Information

Williams had already been through the wringer and then some by the time she found out, in mid-July 1984, via a New York Post reporter, that she was about to become Penthouse's cover girl, an honor she neither asked for nor wanted. The cover boy was George Burns, the beloved geriatric actor who'd played the All Mighty in the recent hit comedy Oh God!"Miss America: Oh, God, She's Nude!" the headline would read. a b c Krajicek, David (May 26, 2005).

And recent issues where young people were threatened with CP prosecution for “sexting” which I think mostly involves just standing in front of a mirror. In one case a prosecutor threatened a girl who was photographed from the waste up wearing a bra and therefore no more exposed than she would be at the beach.

Or this. Leslie Jay-Gould, Penthouse 's then-vice president and director of public relations: "The issue was beyond huge, was beyond anything. When it hit stands, I was fielding over a hundred calls a day. And then, two years later, the FBI came to the offices and took away all the issues. Yeah, it was a felony just to own." Well, the photos aren't quite all that, but they aren't just your standard-issue nudes either. They featured Williams and another model miming the act of love in a variety of attitudes and positions. Oh, and that other model happened to be a woman. Anolik, Lili (September 15, 2020). " 'A Felony Just to Own': The Sleazy Story Behind Penthouse's Most Controversial Issue". Esquire.

Williams, though, was also, at some level, a victim of herself. As it turns out, she didn't put up much of a fight for her title in part because there was a second set of photos, this set shot with a different photographer and with her in bondage gear. "People can forgive one mistake," Williams told Rolling Stone , in 1985, "but if the other pictures come out, everyone will say, 'This girl took us for a ride.'" (Guccione, incidentally, would get his hot little hands on those photos, too. He ran them a few months later, in the January '85 issue, the cover once more featuring Williams and George Burns, and this time reading "Oh, God, I Did It Again!")
