Witco masks in Hefner documentary

Pages: 1 2 replies

I was just watching "The E! True Hollywood Story: Hugh Hefner: Girlfriends, Wives & Centerfolds", and at about 27 minutes into the program there is a short black and white clip shot near a pool that briefly shows what appear to be three Witco masks on a wall. I can't tell if they're the same ones as shown in BOT. My impression of the clip is that the pool was indoors (grotto?) and, if I recall BOT, the ones in that pic were outside.

They were inside, in the Chicago Playboy mansion interior pool, together with another standing Witco Tiki, and some fishnet floats and stuff, so that must have been them. Good catch.

The Chicago Playboy Mansion had a polynesian themed swimming pool. They even had a Tiki bar there! Sadly, the current Playboy Mansion West has no Tiki (but enough exotic birds, rockwork, and waterways to turn it into a great luau!).
Your friend,
Louis
