In 1953, a classmate had got hold of the first issue of Playboy, recalls theatre and advertising personality Alyque Padamsee. The copy circulated among the boys in the class, all of them wanting to have a peek at a nude Marilyn Monroe, called the 'sweetheart of the month' before the term Playmate was introduced. "We were actually seeing a topless girl and, that too, Marilyn Monroe!" says Padamsee.
