By popular demand, we're visiting the story of Carrie Leigh: the 19-year-old model who became Hefner's live-in girlfriend for five years... and then sued him for $35 million. Carrie Leigh was the first person on record to refer to the world of Playboy as a "cult."

We're covering her rise in the public eye as "first lady of the Playboy Mansion," and the palimony suit alleging she was promised marriage, children, a Malibu beach house, and an annual salary. Plus: the (suspected?) allegation against Carrie Leigh by Jennifer Saginor, author of Playground, that they had a romantic relationship while the author was a teenager.
