Mark Hopkins worked as Hugh Hefners Personal Valet for 3 years in the early 80's.

The position was a coveted one and Mark was the lucky one to receive this title and role to be in service to Hefner for a span of 3 years.

The era was the early 80's - HEF wasn't married at the time but was in a relationship with Sondra Theodore.  The celebrities who were on the 24 hour list were A- LIST STARS  comedians, actors, writers and movie stars. And the encounters that Mark would have with these people were profound to say the least!

After leaving the Mansion in '84, Mark earned his degree in journalism from Ohio State. He met his  wife and raised four kids and have been together 40 years. Both are retired now and enjoying life every day.

Thank you Mark for taking the time to sit down with us and share a time in history that we were not privy to.

- With Love & Gratitude -

"The hedonistic pursuit of uninhibited sex. Put these images together and a single name springs to mind--Hugh Hefner. From his spectacular launch of Playboy magazine and the dizzying expansion of his leisure empire to his recent television hit "The Girls Next Door,"  the publisher has attracted public attention and controversy for decades.

Mr. Playboy tells the compelling and uniquely American story of how one person with a provocative idea, a finger on the pulse of popular opinion, and a passion for his work altered the course of modern history. Spans from Hefner's childhood to the launch of Playboy magazine and the expansion of the Playboy empire to the present. Puts Hefner's life and work into the cultural context of American life from the mid-twentieth-century onwards."

He reveals that Hefner, from the beginning, believed he could overturn social norms and take America with him. This fascinating portrait illustrates four ways in which Hefner and Playboy stood at the center of several cultural upheavals that remade the postwar USA.

"The publisher played a crucial role in the sexual revolution that upended traditional notions of behavior and expectation regarding sex. He emerged as one of the most influential advocates of a rapidly developing consumer culture, flooding Playboy readers with images of material abundance and a leisurely lifestyle. He proved instrumental--with his influential magazine, syndicated television shows, fashionable nightclubs, swanky resorts, and movie and musical projects--in making popular culture into a dominant force in many people's lives. Ironically, Hefner also became a controversial force in the movement for women's rights.

Watts offers singular insights into the real man behind the flamboyant public persona. He shows Hefner's personal dichotomies--the pleasure seeker and the workaholic, the consort of countless Playmates and the genuine romantic, the family man and the Gatsby-like host of lavish parties at his Chicago and Los Angeles mansions."

 What happens when the truth behind Hugh Hefner and the Playboy Mansion comes to light? We're joined by incredible guests who lived and worked at the Mansion - Audra Lynn, Miss October 2003, Brian Olea, a 20-year veteran butler and events coordinator, and Josh Friedman, Hef's private bartender for 14 years. They're here to set the record straight and share their first-hand experiences of life inside the luxurious estate, revealing the man behind the controversial legacy.

Together, we discuss the allegations based on Jennifer Saginaur's book, which has been used as a foundation for many claims against Hef and the Mansion. Our guests tell us their stories, shining a light on the true character of Hugh Hefner as a feminist, civil rights advocate, and loving father. We also explore the importance of speaking out against false narratives and the dangers of cancel culture.

Listen in as we tackle misconceptions surrounding the Playboy Mansion, from the supposed nudity and drug use to the treatment of women by Hef himself. We hear from Audra, Brian, and Josh, Corinna and Echo as they paint a picture of a man who enforced strict rules to create a safe environment for all.
 
Alexandra Dean and the group of female producers behind the disgusting and salacious narrative of "WHO" Hugh Hefner was, clearly had an agenda from the beginning. That agenda was to craft, cultivate and spread a false narrative about one of the most prolific historical icons the world has ever seen; by attaching his name, his character and the iconic company he built PLAYBOY Magazine to the  #METOO MOVEMENT. 

Hugh Hefner WAS NOT and IS NOT a SEXUAL PREDATOR, as the females in the docuseries are claiming.  We "THE PLAYBOY FAMILY" stand with HEF. We know the truth. Don't miss this eye-opening episode that challenges the narratives we've been told and reveals the reality behind Hugh Hefner and his iconic Mansion.

What if the infamous Playboy empire and its founder, Hugh Hefner, played a significant role in the fight for civil rights and personal freedoms? In this eye-opening episode, we unravel the complex history of Playboy, its battle with the Nixon administration's war on drugs, and the FBI's targeting of Bobby Arnstein, a close friend of Hefner. Our guest, John Champion, offers valuable insights on the historical context of the sexual revolution and its impact on Playboy's legacy.

We delve into the life of Hugh Hefner and the darker aspects of his reputation, examining allegations of sexual harassment and assault that emerged following his death. As we ponder the implications these accusations have on the Playboy brand and the women who worked for him, we also explore the magazine's role in igniting conversations on sexuality, gender roles, racism, and politics.

Finally, we emphasize the importance of Playboy's editorial voice in addressing sexual politics and the power of media in sculpting public perception. To dig deeper into the fascinating story of Playboy and its undeniable influence on American culture, we highly recommend watching the Amazon Prime show 'Playboy: American Playboy.' Join us on this journey to reveal the truth behind the Playboy empire.

What's the true story behind Hugh Hefner's retreat to the Playboy Mansion? How did the murder of star playmate Dorothy Stratten impact his life and business empire? We explore these questions and more as we unpack the narrative presented in the podcast "Power, the Hugh Hefner Story" and the A&E DocuSeries. Join us for a fascinating look into what was really going on behind the scenes, and learn why journalistic due diligence is crucial when telling the stories of public figures like Hefner.

We also discuss the misconceptions and judgments surrounding Hefner's unusual lifestyle and the rules he set for guests at the Playboy Mansion. Listen in as we analyze how Hefner lived his life the way he wanted to, despite public opinion, and investigate the hypermoralistic attitudes people have had towards him. Plus, we'll ponder why society tends to look for the most obvious answer to explain tragic outcomes.

Finally, we delve into Hefner's open attitude toward sexuality, his legacy, and his inability to defend himself since his passing. We'll also examine the Bobby Arnstein incident, the evolving feminist movement, and how Christie Hefner's arrival to Playboy ultimately led to the closure of the Playboy clubs in 1986. Don't miss this engaging conversation offering a fresh perspective on the life and legacy of Hugh Hefner.

A&E created a 8 part series with a nasty narrative.  A Podcast called POWER also came out and does equally the same thing. So WHY are these women - Amy Rose Spiegel of POWER Podcast & Alexandra Dean Executive Producer of A&E Series creating this narrative? 

What's their AGENDA? 

Their AGENDA is to CANCEL Hugh Hefner - Yep that's right! This group of female producers who both Corinna & I spoke to 2 years ago when they started their "research" into the history of Playboy but more specifically Hefner have a hard on for the "me too movement" and are trying with all their might to clump Hefner into the category of "Sexual Predator."

They focused on four women that at one time or another were intimate with HEF both as a girlfriend or working directly with HEF through the company. The women they chose to focus on are "the most irrelevant characters in the history of Playboy." And boy the contempt they have for HEF is beyond bizarre - especially considering the man is dead.

However the Playboy Family that we have and knew when HEF was alive & well is a strong and unbreakable family AND WE ALL ARE SPEAKING UP!

 It's time to CANCEL THE CANCEL CULTURE MOVEMENT!

We Stand With HEF. We Honor HEF. We know the truth and are here to give that truth to you, our audience!

Corinna & I  REUNITE with a few of our "PHENOMENAL PLAYMATE SISTERS" - which is btw the "Ultimate Sorority."

These INCREDIBLY, VIBRANT, BEAUTIFUL, KIND and  SUPER FUNNY, group of women, each carry the title of  "PLAYBOYS PLAYMATE OF THE YEAR" known in the world of "PLAYBOY" as "PMOY."

We are STOKED to bring you this very candid conversation with the incomparable  PMOY 1990 - RENEE TENISON  plusmy partner - my co-host - my soul sister The CORINNA HARNEY PMOY 1992 - last but certainly not least -  The extraordinary  - BRANDE RODERICK - PMOY 2021.

"PMOY" is a true honor. To be awarded with that title; Well, lets just say you have truly reached "The Echelon" of a very rare and revered group of  women, that exist in the world.  You are being named, and recognized as "ONE of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN in THE WORLD."  A term that goes hand in hand, with the INFAMOUS  title of "SUPERMODELS"  the drop-dead gorgeous, exquisite, unique women; of the "ELITE" world - of the "Modeling Industry.

No questions were off base - we laughed - we cried - we took a good look at our shared memory of being a part of HEF'S world  and werejoiced at how very grateful - how very certain - how very unique we each are because of the profoundly important and life changing moment in time that we were each selected to be Miss ?  Playboys Playmate of the Month.

AND  what a better time to release this show. It just happens to be that we recorded this show 6 months previously - with ZERO idea about the current day "MEDIAS MAD DASH"   to try  and  decimate the legacy, the character and the legend of the man behind this whole conversation. Our beloved - Hugh M. Hefner.

Enjoy these bevy of beauties at the links below as well - Cheers!
