Don Williams: Classic Playgirl, 1983


'A football ace, who's sure to make your heart race.'

'On the football field, Don is an artful dodger, honing the art of elusion. he's a wide receiver with the L.A. Express, one of he teams in the newly formed United States Football league.'


Don also appeared in a then & now piece in the Playgirl's 35th Anniversary Reunion in 2009 (below). In addition to football player, Don had expanded his resume, adding theology teacher, optician, inventor and dad to his long list of accomplishments. Being Black History month, I have been searching not only for some favorite hot models and actor, but some older black men.

I try to ensure FH is diverse, not just with race and culture, but with body size and age.  Although it's 2020, there is still so far to go.  There's always room for a new hot white model, but there are only so many spaces for black men, let alone Asian or Native Americans.  It is especially rare to find a black men over the age of 40 who is still actively modeling.  I loved his original shoot, and Don is one of the only black models that Playgirl checked back in on for their then and now section.
