I believe there was a very small time period when KLS was doing both the bunny and DS jobs... They did not want it known that she was moonlighting as a worker in the Playboy Club, as you can imagine!
I believe her name was different... "Bunny Kaye" comes to mind... but, it might have been something else. It was fairly soon that she hung up the bunny ears and switched over to working exclusively at the Collinsport Inn. KLS is a dear lady... very sweet.
I went to the Book Party for "The Bunny Years" in Brentwood. I chatted with KLS and got to sit in the front table nearest to her as she spoke. There was a couple at my table who fretted about their yacht.
There was also the widow or some relative/heir to Grauman's Chinese Theater. KLS had published a book on the theater. I loved talking with her about all the Hollywood legends. The lady was very thankful to Katie -- found her professional and fair with the book. She was very, very happy she decided upon KLS.
Katie was a wonderful "hostess" & we all admired her and the book. In hindsight, it's clear that the "bunny women" were ahem... *ahead* of their time in some way -- though certainly they were not feminists in the traditional sense.
I had a splendid time at the gathering. I think Red Buttons visited our table foursome for a time. I believe he may have spoke mostly about the passing of Frank Sinatra. I was happy to meet him... a sweet, funny, giving guy.
I wish I written down memories at the time ... oh, well...
