Summary

Today we are joined by a very special guest, Katie Manzella, who spent some of her childhood at the mansion. Her mother was Playmate Sondra Theodore, Hef's girlfriend for the latter half of the 70's. Katie talks what it was like being at the mansion as a child, partying there when she got older, her relationship with her mom over the years, how she balances the memories she has with the truth of her mother's experience and much more in this emotional and healing conversation.
