Officials try to ID body in home of 1959 Playmate (AP) — There were few signs that anything was amiss at 1950s-era Playboy playmate Yvette Vickers' one-bedroom house in Beverly Hills. Prell added it was her desire to be an actress that helped lead to their divorce 2½ years into the marriage. Prell found out later his ex-wife was the Playboy magazine playmate, July 1959, when he saw her layout in the back room of the San Francisco Symphony where he performed. The guys there thought it was pretty crazy, a bass player married to someone in Playboy. On Tuesday, various news organizations camped outside the two-story, brown rustic home sitting on a steep hillside. A handwritten note at the front gate read: "Deliveries, please ring doorbell."
