Playboy September 1980

COVER STORY The lady with the Playboy team sweater is Rita Lee, whom you may remember (with pleasure) as our November 1977 Playmate. Rita hailed from St. Paul then, but she's since moved on to New York and a successful modeling career. Executive Art Director Tom Staebler designed and photographed the cover on the same day that our 1980 All-America team posed for the pictures you'll see on pages 164 and 165. Unfortunately, the players didn't get to meet Rita—but then, you wouldn't want to hug her in shoulder pads. 5 PLAYBILL 11 THE WORLD OF PLAYBOY 15 DEAR PLAYBOY 23 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 28 MOVIES 38 BOOKS 40 MUSIC 49 COMING ATTRACTIONS 51 PLAYBOY'S TRAVEL GUIDE BY STEPHEN BIRNBAUM 53 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 57 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 65 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: ROY SCHEIDER—candid conversation The star of the award-winning movie All That Jazz talks about the making of the film, his career, his marriage and his memorable performances in The French Connection, Jaws and Marathon Man. 90 WE'LL TAKE ROMANCE—essay JOHN SACK These days, spontaneity and imagination are more important than money when you want to show her how you feel about her.
