Virginia De Lee, a stunning redhead pin-up model of the late 1950s and early 1960s, possessed a captivating face, a curvaceous 36-25-36 figure, and an endearing, sweetly sexy yet innocent "girl next door" charm. Born in the mid-1930s in Hollywood, California, she was the daughter of a vaudeville magician father and a film studio wardrobe mistress mother.
Virginia's modeling career was marked by her appearances on the covers and in pictorials of notable men's magazines, including "Escapade," "Tempo," "Bold," "Sir!," "Stare," "Adam," "Caper," "Show," and "Playboy." Her sole film credit was a minor role as a stripper in the gritty Grade B crime drama "Hell Bound."
Noted Hungarian sculptor Joseph Dubronyi praised Virginia for having a perfectly proportioned physique. In October 1957, Virginia divorced her business manager husband, Bennett Michael De Lee, on charges of cruelty.
After quitting modeling in the early 1960s, Virginia married again and settled down in Sedona, Arizona.
