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.

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

'Playboy Magazine' has been a devil's advocate for me. Because of the image and type-casting, it's harder to convince people that I can sing. Yet, I probably wouldn't have had the chance, had it not been for Playboy.

Bill Cosby was one of the first people I met at the Mansion, shortly after I met Hef in 1968.

Hef has always been attracted to younger women. He loves to see the world through the eyes of someone seeing it for the first time.

If it were up to me, I wouldn't have security. But Hef thinks I'm naive. He feels I'm vulnerable to kidnapping.
