Secrets of Playboy - 2 ª Season

Contestants share their experience which changed them and how being associated with Playboy fulfilled dreams and also caused heartache.

After his 90s divorce, Hugh Hefner had seven girlfriends who promoted Playboy at events. While the position offered financial support and glamour, it also involved public drama between the women.

In 1977 Playboy introduced pictorials featuring often barely-legal college women. Playboy went to university campuses across the country and hosted auditions for female students to pose and represent their school. While some of these women jumped at the chance to audition, others protested the magazine's presence on campus. For those that were selected, the choice to pose for Playboy sometimes resulted in unanticipated, far reaching consequences, in their personal lives and their careers.

Sondra Theodore and her daughter Katie explore their dramatically different versions of life at the Playboy Mansion as they work to heal the trauma in their complicated relationship.

Posing for Playboy seems like a dream come true for many young women, but the allure of fame and fortune comes with a steep price: their bodies become commodities, their choices are restricted by a company that seeks to profit from their sexuality, and sometimes instead of opening doors for the women, it closes them.
