The Big Bang
The Playboy Mansion was known for its legendary Fourth of July party that occurred every single year. Those who got invited to the bash should have counted themselves lucky on a few points. Outside of the obvious public desires to enter the mansion, Hugh hosted one of the most incredible fireworks shows of the time.
A Glorious Celebration
Hugh pulled some strings with the local authorities that allowed the Playboy Mansion to be the only private residence in Los Angeles county that was allowed to set off fireworks. This was the 1960s, and firework technology was a bit more primitive than it is now. Fortunately, there were no disasters that came along with the show. But, things could have ended up a lot worse than they did.
