Early life and career[edit]
Born Karen Sue Levitt in New York, she began her career in modeling shortly after graduating from high school. After a photographer sent in pictures he had taken of her to Playboy, she was chosen for a layout in the magazine, posing under the name Sue Williams.[1] She was the first Playmate to get breast implants,[2] and at 4'11, one of the shortest women to appear as a Playmate in Playboy (Karla Conway, April 1966, was the other).
After appearing in Playboy, she began acting in various films and television. She appeared in several Beach Party films, including How to Stuff a Wild Bikini under the name Sue Hamilton.
Death[edit]
At the age of 23, Williams committed suicide, shooting herself in the chest with a gun on September 2, 1969. She is interred in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles.[1]
