The Playboy Mansion could give off the impression as a hedonist's lair to many. For others, it is deemed as a house of ill-refute known, by and large, for its alleged raunchy revelries and other shenanigans. But while others look down contemptibly on the place, it has appealed to some women who have found their way into the infamous mansion to dwell and indulge with everything the place has to offer.
And now, based on the latest stories brought to light, it looks like there are more ways to get into the mansion other than what is "on the surface".
Yahoo News reports about the discovery of a "series of photographs and blueprints showing the construction of the tunnels in the 1970s" that connects the Playboy Mansion to the nearby homes of celebrities.
The documents were found by one of Playboy Magazine's editors while leafing through their archives and show that a network of underground paths leads into the homes of some "Mr. J. Nicholson," "Mr. W. Beatty," "Mr. K. Douglas," and "Mr. J. Caan."
The magazine went on to assume that the names referred to were of stars who are neighbors to Hef's place during the late 1970s and early 1980s: Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Kirk Douglas and James Caan.
"There are no dates on the architectural schematics, but the dates on the Polaroids were from 1977," wrote Yahoo News.
Most of the reports about the alleged underground labyrinths were published live on the web on or after April 1, prompting one of the sites to suspect that it might just be one of those April Fool's pranks.
"But the plans look almost too perfect, lacking pencil notations, or detail in the fine print, such as check boxes that would have been marked through different stages of construction," the Sydney Morning Herald notes. "It is also highly unlikely that architect's drawings for tunnels linking the properties would name the celebrities."
Hugh Hefner declined to give his take on the issue involving his place says Yahoo News.
Meanwhile, the Playboy manse is the very same home used in Rupert Wyatt's 2014 film "The Gambler", the USA Today reports. It was used as a setting for the main character's childhood house.
"The Gambler" tells the story of Jim Bennet, portrayed by Mark Wahlberg, who is both an "English professor and a high-stakes gambler" says Paramount Pictures. He likes to go all-in with the gangster dough he borrows; on which he makes his own life the collateral.
And, as he dabbles between his professional life and the dangerous underworld, Bennet is going to meet the loan shark Frank (John Goodman), and gets romantically involved with one of his students (Brie Larson) that would make him want to take the ultimate risk for another shot at life.
