Anna Faris Researched Her Role as a Playboy

Anna Faris checks out Playboy mansion for research

Anna Faris researched her role as a Playboy outcast in a new comedy House Bunny by wandering around Hugh Hefner’s famous Holmby Hills, California mansion. In the film, the Lost In Translation star plays a Playboy regular who becomes a sorority mother at college after she’s kicked out of the mansion. And to get a feel for life at Hefner’s fabled pad, Faris spent time there. She says, “There are peacocks wandering around and beautiful girls and oddly placed bottles of baby oil. I checked out the grotto, but I didn’t go in.” And Faris is planning a return trip — House Bunny’s premiere party will be held at the Playboy Mansion. She added, “I’m taking my mum the next time.”
