Playboy Mansion Halloween Party Girls
|
A secret room known as the "Elvis Suite" is kept out of the public view. In a March 2007 television interview, Hefner — an Elvis Presley admirer — explained the suite is special to him because of one night in the early seventies, when Elvis stayed in that suite along with no fewer than eight girls. Hefner confirmed that whenever movie stars, sports stars, or musicians come there, they always request the "Elvis Suite", but that it remains, and will most likely remain, off limits. He added "Yeah, Elvis loved women, of all colors."
In 2010, former Playboy Playmate Izabella St. James, in her memoir "Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion", wrote that the house was in need of renovation: "Everything in the Mansion felt old and stale, and Archie the house dog would regularly relieve himself on the hallway curtains, adding a powerful whiff of urine to the general scent of decay."
The house next door is a mirror image of the Mansion layout, only smaller. Hefner purchased the neighboring building in 1996 and it is home to his separated wife Kimberley Conrad and their children together. Hefner and Conrad married in 1989 and separated in 1998. According to the Wall Street Journal, Hefner and his wife announced in March 2009 that they are listing Mrs. Hefner's home for sale at $US28 million.
In 2002, Hefner purchased a house across the street from the mansion for use by Playmates.
