20th Century Fox Talent Search for NBC Pilot "Playboy" Set in 1963 Chicago
Academy Award winning Brian Grazer will produce with Francie Calfo and Robin Gurney under the banner of Imagine Entertainment. Chad Hodge wrote the script and will also co-produce. Primetime Emmy winner Alan Taylor will direct "Playboy". Taylor's television directing credits include "The West Wing," "Six Feet Under," "Sex and the City," "Lost," "The Sopranos," "Mad Men," and "Boardwalk Empire".
The Chicago Playboy Club opened in 1960 at 116 E. Walton Street and was the first Playboy club that Hugh Hefner opened. The club provided the first appearance of the Playboy Bunnies. These Bunnies, with their satin corsets, bunny ears and fluffy white tails served those fortunate enough to be "Keyholders".
