Ashlyn Martin (Laura Lynn Hale) (20 March 1946 – 24 October 1991)[1] was the stage name of Laura Lynn Hale,[1] a model and actress who was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its April 1964 issue.
Her centerfold was photographed by Pompeo Posar and Mario Casilli.
[1] She also appeared in the July 1963 issue of Playboy in The Bunnies, a pictorial, as well as in a photograph dated 1960 (along with Playmate/Bunny Patti Reynolds) in The Bunny Years (page 56) by Kathryn Leigh Scott.
In The Playmate Book, Hugh Hefner says that Laura's pseudonym was inspired by a character in the Ernest Hemingway novel The Sun Also Rises, most likely Brett Ashley.
She also worked as a Bunny at the Chicago Playboy Club.
