Letter: Great days for Moynihan and the Playboy Bunnies
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Are you all so young at the Independent that the Fifties and the Sixties are the same (photograph of the late third Baron Moynihan surrounded by Playboy Bunnies, 16 July)? Is there no one old enough to have gone to the Playboy Club on Park Lane? How sad. Tell you exactly when it was - the later months of 1966.
Left to right: Melissa, whom I remember only after seeing her photograph; Erin, who used to greet customers or take photographs, and who I heard became Bunny Mother after the original one, Donna - famous for her electric green contact lenses, which were even greener than mine - left; the Moynihan person (no memory of him at all, but that means nothing); Lee, an American girl, who arrived at the club some time in September, hoping to break into films - no idea whether she did; and, I think, Anita, who came from Northern Ireland.
One last thing: under those bosomy curves lies an ardent packing of Kleenex and old tights. There was only one girl who could manage without that help in all the 100-odd girls there.
Great days.
