The bunny incident was not a major turning point in her life, but it was a catalyst that made her see the need for it. "Being a bunny ? and this is the way she described it and tlit* way l describe it ? was shocking. I had never been put in a position before to be so humilatcd. On our Playboy Club set we had about 150 new extras, and everything Gloria described went on there. The men pinched my bunny tail, they called me 'baby.' And this was all before the cameras were even turned on." Alley added: "You wonder what gives these men that right.

"She talked to the other bunnies and their reasons ? to meet famous people, to become a movie star or because the pay was higher than for an ordinary waitress ? became a part of her story." Stcinem was reluctant to sell the film rights to her story. She thought her early career had been harmed because some people perceived her not as a serious journalist, but as a bunny.
