content: This trophy was awarded to Phyllis Diller when she was named “Miss Fun Fishing 1973” after posing nude for <i>Field and Stream</i> magazine. The award was presented “on the occasion of her selection as the first centerfold in the magazine’s 78 year history.” The trophy goes on to explain that “fishing and humor are two universally popular sources of entertainment for people of all ages.” The centerfold in the June 1973 issue of <i>Field and Stream</i> showed Diller wearing fishing waders which covered her entire body except for her shoulders and arms. The fur bonnet that she wore during the photoshoot is also in NMAH’s collection (Catalog Number 2003.0289.12).
