I'm no libber. I like it when a man looks at me and treats me like a woman. I do think though, that women should get equal pay to a man doing the same thing.

My singing teacher said it would take three years before I could sing well enough to be accepted as a professional. They were wrong. It took me five years.

There came a time when I had to decide between show business and devoting my full time to medical training. I chose show business.

When I was growing up, we were in a high income bracket, one of the highest. I was one of the first in high school to get a car. And I didn't have to wait for it to be a graduation present, either. We've probably got one of the nicest houses in Sacramento.

Anybody that was famous found their way to the Playboy Mansion. It was exciting for me. But I didn't know half of them!

I was also dating someone from UCLA and also I had another suitor, Jimmy Caan. So it was between my college boyfriend, Jimmy Caan and Hef. And Hef won. Within a few months, we were exclusive.
