The State - News from June 25, 1986
Penthouse magazine may not rerun nude photographs of Priscilla Barnes that it published before she was featured in the television series “Three’s Company,” the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled. A three-judge panel upheld Los Angeles Federal Judge James M. Ideman, who found that the photographer’s original agreement with Barnes in 1975, when she was a Hollywood club hostess, promised her real name would not be used with the photographs. Upon publication in 1976, a pseudonym was used. After she had appeared on television, Penthouse went to court in an effort to establish its right to reprint them with her actual name.

An article in Wednesday’s editions of The Times incorrectly stated that the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Penthouse magazine remained barred from rerunning nude photographs of Priscilla Barnes it published before she became known as a television actress. Actually, Penthouse was simply told it may not rerun the photographs under her real name.
