Who is Jennifer Saginor on Secrets of Playboy?

Jennifer Saginor spent much of her childhood living at the Playboy mansion, and what she saw ended up shaping the rest of her life. She chronicled the experience in her book, Playground: A Childhood Lost Inside the Playboy Mansion, and now, through this new docuseries, she’s sharing more than ever before about what she witnessed.

But why would anyone let a child live in the Playboy Mansion? Let’s take a closer look.

Who are Jennifer Saginor’s parents?

Saginor was the daughter of Hefner’s physician and close friend, “Dr. Feelgood” Mark Saginor, which is why she spent a good deal of time living in the Playboy Mansion. Jennifer’s father became known as “Dr. Feelgood” because he had a reputation of prescribing drugs to those in Hugh Hefner’s inner circle.

When she was a teenager, thanks to her proximity to the house, Jennifer had an affair with one of Hefner’s girlfriends. The Playboy creator, who had once thought of Saginor as one of his own daughters, later had a more tense relationship with her — especially once her book came out.

Where is Jennifer Saginor now?

Saginor now sells properties at the Compass brokerage. She’s active on social media, and thanks to A&E’s new docuseries, she’s ready to shed light on her time at the Playboy Mansion.
