Jo Collins (birthname Janet Canoy, born August 5, 1945 in Lebanon, Oregon) was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for December 1964 and Playmate of the Year for 1965. Her original pictorial was photographed by Mario Casilli.
She was discovered by Playboy while working as a page for the Queen for a Day TV game show. She went on to work at the Playboy Clubs as a Bunny and, later on, as a Bunny Mother.
Jo, who is of Norwegian and Spanish descent,[citation needed] was married to the baseball player Bo Belinsky for five years (1970 to 1975).
She was nicknamed “G.I. Jo” for her United Service Organizations tours to Vietnam to entertain the troops during the Vietnam War.
