THE WORST XMAS COVER: As we looked through 90 years of holiday covers, we found a lot of clunkers, but this cover from the December 1968 Playboy stood head and shoulders above the crowd as the absolute worst cover of all time. It’s just so wrong on every level.

The GQ cover of Barbra (not Barbara) Streisand is from Winter 1965. In 1974, when she starred in “The Way We Were” and was #1 box office in the world, she looked very different.
