Ashlyn Martin (born March 20, 1946 in London, England) is the stage name of Laura Lynn Hale, an American 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. 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.
Ashlyn grew up in Florida, Chicago, Illinois and New York City with her two brothers and two sisters. Her father was a pilot and her mother a nurse.
She appeared in a few films, most notably Blood Feast (1963), a classic of the horror genre. She also worked as a Bunny at the Chicago Playboy Club.
