THE BUNNY CHRONICLES - a History of Hugh Hefner & the Empire He Built - Playboy Magazine
It was 1990 when Richard Bann first visited Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion. Cinema and the importance of film preservation sparked a 30 year friendship. One that evolved into being closest of friends and an invitation to "Manly Night."Monday was always Manly Night, a gathering of Hef's closest friends who would nominate and vote on what film to screen after dinner: Dick Stewart, Ray Anthony, Mel Torme', Johnny Crawford, John Dante, Bob Ridgely, Chuck McCann, Peter Vieira, Ron Borst, Kevin Burns, Robert Culp, Fred Dryer, Jerry Vale, Richard Bann. In 1993 Dick Stewart and his wife Playmate, Anne Randall moved to Sun City. Dick went to Hef and suggested his seat at Hef's left hand should be given to Richard Bann, and Hef agreed. Brother Keith Hefner moved to Los Angeles from Aspen in 1997 coincident with Mel Torme's passing and his seat was given to Keith. "A seat at the table" was a big deal and not everyone who was close to Hef would receive that invitation by Hefner. Hefner was a creature of habit. Every week the calender would reflect nightly events. Events that were religiously held at the Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills, for a span of 45 years.Tuesday Nights = GAME nightWednesday Nights = GIN nightThursday Nights = FAMILY night when Hefners boys, Marston and Cooper were young. Once the boys had grown up Thursday became a movie night.Friday Nights = CLASSIC FILM Night Saturday Nights = RERUN Movie ClassicsSunday Nights = screenings of yet to be released films. Straight from the studios, delivered UNDER lock AND key!! The films would arrive on reels and placed on Hefners equipment in in a hidden room behind the grand living room inside the library.Richard would write copious notes on each film before each movie night. Upon arriving at the Playboy Mansion, Richard would hand off his cliff notes to HEF. Hefner, the consimate editor would take Richards notes and create his presentation. A cherished moment we ALL loved. Hef in his silk pajamas and robe, in his wonderfully warm and intoxicating way would present a tender and brilliant; introspective and fascinating backstory on the film. It was "cinematic history" at it's pinnacle. We all shared the LOVE of movie nights held at the Playboy Mansion. The fondest memories we are so very lucky to share.

Si vous avez déjà entendu parler d'Hedy Lamarr, c'est sans doute en ces termes : la plus belle femme du monde qui inventa le wifi ou pire, "de l'extase à l'arobase". Mais l'actrice et inventrice Hedy Lamarr était bien plus que cela, c'était une femme libre, complexe et intelligente... Elle créa une invention, un système de communication crypté encore utilisé de nos jours, mais, principalement à cause du sexisme et des préjugés de l'époque, elle ne tira jamais de bénéfices de son invention. Dans la seconde partie, je vous donne mon avis sur cette histoire et je reviens sur l'image des femmes âgées au cinéma ainsi que sur la notion de mérite.

This week, John invited Jenn Tisdale on to discuss Alexandra Dean's incredible three-part documentary miniseries Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies. Whether you know everything or nothing about the Casey Anthony case, or if you think you know it all, you should watch Dean's documentary, as it is a textbook case on how to do true crime right. While this show rarely touches on true crime (a space very much crowded in the podcast world), this felt like a worthwhile exception. Dean forces us to rethink a lot of our beliefs and assumptions not just about Casey Anthony herself but the entire media apparatus that decided on her guilt even when a jury acquitted her. A side note – if you still need Christmas content from John, there is still something coming your way on 1999: The Podcast, which you can find here or wherever you listen to podcasts!
In adapting Joyce Carol Oates' 2000 novel, Blonde, writer/director Andrew Dominik presents a harrowing portrait of a celebrity caught in a decades-long cycle of mental illness, physical abuse, and exploitation. Ana de Armas stars as Marilyn Monroe in a nearly three-hour series of sketches pulled from the actress' life, including a traumatic childhood, several failed marriages, two abortions, and one miscarriage--not to mention violent on-set freak-outs and endless visions of leering, pawing, powerful men.In this spoilerific review, Ian and David break down what works about Blonde as a purely cinematic experience--and take it to task for a relentless mean streak that may leave some audiences members struggling to finish the whole thing, and others struggling to suppress their laughter at the over-the-top (hopefully unintentional) misogyny that categorically defies the filmmaker's intent.They also talk accents, fact-versus-fiction, and the "real" Marilyn Monroe!Show Links:Watch the Blonde trailer.Follow David's film criticism at Keeping It Reel.Read Entertainment Weekly's article, "8 Marilyn Monroe Books to Read After You Watch Blonde".Read Collider's article on the differences between Oates' novel and Dominik's film (referenced in the discussion).Watch Ian's interview with Alexandra Dean, in which they talk about her excellent Paris Hilton documentary, This is Paris (referenced in the discussion).Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!

APRIL 4TH, 2023 - A&E premiered the docuseries "Dark Secrets of Playboy." The executive producer of the series - Alexandra Dean personally contacted not only me - Corinna - Brian & Josh - but interviewed a multitude of Playmates as well as Hugh Hefners closest friends over a span, of two years, before the series aired. Surprisingly Alexandra Dean an "award winning journalist" crafted an entire series based on LIES and SLANDER from Jennifer Saginores book "A Childhood Lost - Growing up in the PB Mansion" as well as "stories" by HEFNERS last group of girlfriends before his marriage to Crystal Hefner in 2012.Alexandra Dean and the other female producers behind the trash piece "Dark Secrets of Playboy" started calling everyone AGAIN, when the series premiered. These female producers had a crystal clear agenda. And with that agenda, a single & consistently BIZARRE & FALSE message was heard over and over by OUR PB FAMILY. HEFNER was a "sexual predator" as well as an "evil man." This message was heard loud and clear by all of us that spoke with these producers. We literally were encouraged to speak out against HEF. Absolutely horrific
Tuesday Money & Kristen return to the podcast to discuss A & E docu-series "Secrets of Playboy".

In this episode, filmmaker Alexandra Dean tells the story of Hollywood starlet Hedy Lamarr and how she invented what became the basis for WiFi and wireless communication. Then Harald Haas explains how he's reinventing wireless communication by turning light bulbs into wireless transmitters or, as he calls it, LiFi.In the 1940s, Hedy Lamarr was leading a secret double life. By day she was a famous actress known as the most beautiful woman in the world. By night she was building an uncrackable wireless communication device to help allied torpedos destroy Nazi submarines. Unfortunately, the world was more interested in what she was wearing than what she was thinking. Nearly 70 years later, Harald built on Hedy's legacy when he discovered how to wirelessly transmit data using light. His story takes us to the TED stage where he first unveiled LiFi and reveals how the technology can bring the internet to some of the world's most remote locations.For more information, visit setapp.com/podcast
Pour le commun des mortels, elle est une fille à papa qui a grandi dans une bulle de champagne - et a un jour écrit les mémoires de son chien. Et c'est vrai. Paris Hilton, c'est cette fille issue d'une dynastie, au physique de Barbie et à la voix nasillarde, qui a surgi dans la jet set à 18 ans et qui est devenu un phénomène médiatique mondial, la pionnière de la téléréalité, à laquelle personne n'est resté insensible. On la connaît tous, on a tous un jour vu un épisode de The Simple Life, on a tous vu un jour une photo d'elle en mini robe entièrement strassée derrière des platines à Ibiza. Mais un documentaire diffusé en 2020 vient soudain craqueler cette image de poupée trash. Paris Hilton y lève le voile sur son intimité, ses névroses et aussi sur le drame qu'elle a subi adolescente dans une école de redressement. Entre les lignes, on comprend qu'au fond, Paris Hilton n'a plus très envie d'être Paris Hilton. Qu'elle aimerait pouvoir parler normalement (sa voix est plutôt grave, en réalité), marcher normalement, et sortir de ce conte de fées qui a viré au chemin de croix. Dans cet épisode de Scandales, la journaliste Marion Galy-Ramounot replonge dans la bling vie de Paris Hilton et se demande qui se cache derrière le masque de la première des influenceuses. Comment elle est devenue une femme d'affaire hors normes ? Et dans quelle mesure elle continue d'exister médiatiquement aujourd'hui, dans une société qui réclame pourtant toujours plus d'authenticité et de transparence ? À son micro se succèdent : - Alexandra Dean, journaliste américaine et réalisatrice du documentaire This is Paris - Constance Grady, journaliste américaine et auteure d'un dossier sur les mœurs des années 90-2000, The Purity chronicles, dont un focus sur Paris Hilton, pour le média d'opinion Vox - Raul Quiroz, fan et ami de Paris Hilton Scandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia.

Secrets of Playboy (2021) documents the lived experiences of Playboy playmates, the Playboy Bunnies, and employees of the Playboy empire, and the abuse they went through at the hands of its founder Hugh Hefner. Award-winning filmmaker Alexandra Dean joins us to discuss the making of this 10-part series currently streaming on A&E, and what it was like to uncover the abuses that occurred at Playboy. She explains how Hugh Hefner broke women and was able to build up a persona of sexual liberation while creating a culture of abuse. Through the series she also explores why it was so difficult for old playmates to talk about what had happened behind closed doors at the mansion. “Hugh Hefner seemed to block that darker side of himself when he was outside of the bedroom. He completely inhabited the much more progressive person that people truly loved, but he had secrets which unleashed a lot of damage.” – Alexandra Dean Time Stamps: 00:00 – The trailer for Secrets of Playboy.04:01 – What the series is all about. 07:14 – How Alexandra Dean discovered the dark side of Playboy. 08:13 – Why she decided to turn the documentary into a docuseries. 09:11 – The persona Hugh Hefner built in American culture. 12:55 – What people will find out watching this docuseries and the abuses revealed. 16:20 – How Hefner promoted women's sexuality but yet manipulated his ‘girlfriends'. 20:33 – The type of person that was brought into the Playboy world. 22:19 – How difficult it was for the old playmates to talk about their past experiences. 24:20 – What Alexandra learned by going through old documents and footage. 26:11 – What it was like for Jennifer Saginor to grow up in the Playboy mansion. 27:24 – How the employees at Playboy reacted to what happened at the mansion. 32:02 – Why Alexandra was so interested in the Playboy world. 36:44 – The allegations against Bill Cosby during his time at the mansion. 40:30 – The ways women blame themselves for their abuse. 44:56 – The victims that have come forward since the docuseries has been aired. 45:35 – The future projects Alexandra is now working on. 47:04 – Clip from Secrets of Playboy that shows the drug use at the Playboy mansion.

In this episode, I talk to award-winning director and executive producer ALEXANDRA DEAN about her shocking and powerful 10-part A&E documentary series, Secrets of Playboy, a no-holds-barred exposé on the Playboy empire and legendary founder Hugh Hefner. The series paints a damning portrait of Hefner, the pipe-smoking, silk pajama-wearing mogul, who once was a famed champion of women's rights and the sexual revolution. As Alex tells me on the podcast and you can see in the docu-series, several former Playmates claim Hefner raped, coerced and dominated them, allowing his friends and celebrities (among them Bill Cosby) to do likewise, and fashioned a cult-like environment to satisfy his incessant appetite for sex and power. Alex talks to me about her investigative process, specifically how she uncovered the dark side of the Playboy Mansion, as numerous former Playmates and employees revealed tales of abuse and cover-ups to keep scandals out of the press. We also discuss the role that E!'s reality show, "The Girls Next Door" played in perpetuating the myth of Hugh Hefner and building up the Playboy facade. Check out the trailer below and watch the series on Mondays on A&E. Listen to our conversation on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and TuneIn. Thanks!

"This is Paris” Director Alexandra Dean steps back Behind The Rope. We continue our conversation right where we left off (Part I of our sit down aired October 13th, 2020) discussing all things Paris. Alexandra lets us know the challenges of making a behind the scenes film while following Paris around the world to mass chaos and mayhem from Paris’ “Little Hiltons”. We discuss whether the psychological abuse and trauma that Paris endured from the Provo Canyon School was originally intended to be a part of the film. Alexandra explains how she got Paris to open up regarding this abuse, an issue which she has never publicly discussed prior to “This is Paris”. Alexandra discusses the involvement of both Kathy and Nicky Hilton Rothschild in the film and the noted absence of Rick Hilton. We also discuss the cameos from Kim Kardashian and Kyle Richards and why both of those women were necessary for this film. Alexandra fills us in on “secret” lost footage scenes that never made the film. On a more serious note, we discuss how this film was probably the best therapy Paris could have received for her childhood trauma and how Alexandra noticed a completely changed Paris by the end of their time working together. Finally, Paris and Alexandra are dedicated to the “Breaking Code Silence” cause which they are both actively involved in today.

"This is Paris” Director Alexandra Dean steps Behind The Rope. Welcome! Checking in from her attic in Long Island, New York, Alexandra is here to discuss the brilliant film that is “This Is Paris”. Originally from London, Alexandra came to New York City for college and never left. After a brief stint in financial documentaries, Alexandra made her first feature film a few years ago, “Bombshell: the Hedy Lamarr Story". Susan Sarandon was her partner in that venture. Say what? We discuss her influences as a female director - Greta Gerwig, Ava DuVernay, Sophia Coppola, and Kathryn Bigelow. How how does one get to be the “chosen one” to follow Paris Hilton all over the world during the course of a year? Alexandra discusses what it is like to get a call from Paris’ team, what the interview process was like, and how does one dress when meeting Paris Hilton for the first time. Alexandra opens up about how Paris reacted to handing over total control to her and what it was like to show her the film once finished. We discuss how important it was for Paris to have a female director for “This Is Paris”. We deep dive into the juggernaut that is Paris - The Sex Tape, The Simple Life, The music, "American Meme", The Voice, "That’s Hot", The perfume, The products, International DJ, Paris’ “Little Hiltons”, Worldwide Domination. We dicusss how Paris IS larger than life. Alexandra discusses Paris, “the character”, versus Paris, the woman behind the character. Finally, Alexandra discussed the transformation she saw in Paris from the time the film started to the time it ended and how, after all is said and done, Paris became a changed woman as a result of this film.

I have had many conversations about the male gaze, about power, about aging - I hadn't ever thought to link them to a figure like Paris Hilton. This week on Storyteller, filmmaker Alexandra Dean tells us about making her newest documentary “This Is Paris”. After following the original influencer around the globe for a year, Dean reflects on power, the male gaze and why people are so strongly drawn to, and equally repulsed, by the character Paris Hilton created for the world.

Young women entrepreneurs today can find inspiration in the story of Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr. In her time, she was known as the Most Beautiful Woman in the World, but it was her groundbreaking work as an inventor of a secure communications system that has turned her into a legend. Recorded live at the Whitby Hotel in New York, host Michael Kantor moderates a panel including Academy Award-winning actor Susan Sarandon, Rutgers professor and IEEE fellow Emina Soljanin, and filmmaker Alexandra Dean, as they discuss Lamarr’s legacy. Co-executive produced by Sarandon, and directed by Dean, with major support by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, “American Masters – Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story” is streaming now at pbs.org/americanmasters and PBS OTT apps.
The documentary ‘Bombshell' explores the life and legacy of Hedy Lamarr, a star from Hollywood's golden age and an inventor whose ideas are still in use in wireless technology. Her inventions weren't recognized until late in her ultimately tragic life, and never made her any money. ‘Bombshell' director Alexandra Dean tells us about Lamarr's extraordinary career, on-screen and off.
