I'll Always Remember You Mary Jan 30, 2013 by Kendra I’m devastated to hear about the passing of Mary O’Connor. Some of you probably recognize her as Hef’s secretary from "The Girls Next Door." But Mary was a lot more than that to those who knew her. Mary worked at the Playboy Mansion for more than 40 years and was like the mansion mom. She was almost like a therapist because we could talk to her about anything. When I lived at the mansion I was very close with her. Over the years, she helped me through a lot and was always there for me. She was a shoulder to cry on when I needed it and always there to give me advice when I was going through a tough time. I have so many great memories of Mary. She always invited me to her home for Monday night card games with her and her girlfriends but I would end up watching football with her husband Captain Bob instead. Mary also brought me along to her favorite getaway place, Branson, Missouri, which I will never forget. I felt so special that she invited me to her getaway with her and it was so nice to see where she went away to. One of my favorite memories of her that I'll never forget is when she showed up at my bridal shower wearing a shower cap, while all of my friends were in risqué outfits. She also held my baby shower for Lil' Hank which is something I will always be thankful for. She was a wonderful person and I wouldn't be the person I am without her. What are some of your favorite moments of Mary on "The Girls Next Door?" Love, Kendra |

That was very sweet... It made me tear up a bit. Kendra always seemed to be sincerely fond of Mary. I was watching the golf scramble episode and Mary was so sweet with Kendra and seemed to have a lot of patience with her. |

She was probably kind of like a grandmother figure to her. She was really young when she went to the mansion, and we all know Hef didn't really care if they got to visit family that often... |

Out of the girls, Kendra always seemed to have the closest relationship and most rapport with all of Hef's staff, never seemed to act stuck up or like they were beneath her. I'm glad she wrote such a nice tribute to Mary :) |

I agree that's why she was initially my favorite. She seemed most down to earth. I always cry when they show her moving out and saying bye to all the staff on gnd |

Definitely! I would think it probably hit her hardest, just because of her age when she got there. |

Hello, I'm new to these boards but I've been lurking for a while :) I've known Ashley via Twitter for a couple of years. Her grandfather was a music arranger for the likes of Sinatra and Elvis, and Hef was fond of her grandpa therefore she's been a regular at the mansion for a long time. She met Holly at an acting class in LA and took Holly to the mansion for the first time & introduced her to Hef, contrary to the story Holly chose to tell. Ashley has been a friend to Holly and Bridget for a lot longer than with Crystal. Now, I don't know what is going on with Crystal or Femme Fatale but I'm trying to find out. Just wanted to throw this out there since she's been brought up so much lately and say that she's a very very nice girl, an awesome friend & she's way too good for Crystal :) |

I can't remember exactly, but doesn't this pretty much align with what Izabella stated in her book? That Holly was sleeping on a friend's couch and begged someone who frequents the mansion to invite her? Don't remember exactly how Holly said it happened, but it memory serves, she was rather vague about it. Anyone care to refresh my memory? |

I think Holly said she was in a Hawaiian Tropics pageant & a friend of Hef's saw her & invited her to the mansion |
