PLAYBOY Playboy rings in the new year by paying reverence to the sultry, seductive Joan Severance. Our cover was produced by George Newell, styled by Daryl Binder and shot by Photographer Mark Abrahams. Credit for Joan's well-coifed hair goes
to Peter Savic for Cloutier; for her make-up, to Ken Powell for George Newell,
Inc., Los Angeles. Inside sources tell us the Rabbit is utterly charmed by Joan's
beauty, and we can't blame him one bit!
