=== Jennifer Saginor === Jennifer Saginor, author of her memoir ''Playground: A Childhood Lost Inside the Playboy Mansion'', experienced the infamous [[Playboy Mansion|Playboy mansion]] at the age of six years old for the first time.<ref name="Saginor-2005">{{cite book |last=Saginor |first=Jennifer |title=Playground: A Childhood Lost Inside the Playboy Mansion |publisher=HarperCollins |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-06-076157-8 |location=New York |pages=1β9}}</ref> Her father, Mark Saginor, was [[Hugh Hefner|Hugh Hefner's]] physician, otherwise known as "Dr. Feelgood". Mr. Saginor was the primary reason that Jennifer was introduced to the mansion at such a young age due to his residency there.<ref name="Saginor-2005"/> While her parents were still together, Jennifer and her sister would spend a good amount of time at the mansion with their father, having a plethora of adult experiences sprung on them at a young age. Her mother fought, trying to prevent her daughters from stepping foot into that mansion. She went as far as getting a divorce with "Dr. Feelgood", hoping for full custody, as well as court orders.<ref name="Latin American Perspectives-1979"/> After Jennifer's parents' divorce, Mr. Saginor spent significantly more time at the mansion than prior, bringing his children along with him. No matter how often her mother would forbid them from going, Jennifer would lie about her whereabouts to spend time at the "playhouse".<ref name="Latin American Perspectives-1979">{{cite journal |title=Book Reviews : Chile: The Debate Goes On by Kyle Steenland A review of: Edward Boorstein, Allende's Chile, an Inside View, New York: International Publishers, 1977. $4.25 Stefan De Vylder, Allende's Chile: The Political Economy of the Rise and Fall of the Unidad Popular, Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, 1976.

Located in Chicago Illinois.]] A specific story that Jennifer references in her memoir is, again, at the age of six when she ventures to the mansion for the first time, meeting Hugh Hefner, and is left to her own devices by her father. As she walked through the mansion, surrounded by half-naked strangers, she ran into the butler who showed her to the pool. Once getting to the pool, Jennifer discovered a secret tunnel under the water, leading to an underground Jacuzzi in a separate section of the house. Here, she walked in on [[John Belushi]] having sexual intercourse with one of the [[Playboy Bunnies]].<ref name="Saginor-2005"/> She was six years old at the time, but describes her response to this experience as "I am no longer six. I have grown to full maturity in a matter of seconds."<ref name="Saginor-2005" /> Jennifer's experiences display just one of the hidden stories of the Playboy Mansion that haven't been addressed or brought to light for the masses. Throughout the rest of her novel, she discusses several stories involving herself and others, sharing what really went down in the mansion during her time residing there, including the sexual relationship she was involved in with one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends.<ref>{{cite journal |title=PLAYGROUND: A Childhood Lost Inside the Playboy Mansion by Jennifer Saginor |journal=Publishers Weekly |date=18 April 2005 |volume=252 |issue=16 |pages=53 |id={{ProQuest|197087563}} |url=https://www.publishersweekly.com/9780060761561}}</ref>
