Hello Holly, Connie’s pink 1969 Shelby GT500 Mustang has recently been discovered, but it appears that she only kept the car for about a year. Do you have any photos of her with it ?
And do you know who she sold the car to ? Also, I believe that she came to London in 1970 and went back to the States in 71.

Hello: Thank you for writing this.
I am researching information about another Playmate of the Year that Victor dated; her name was Connie Kreski. I know she lived in London for a while (late 60s) and made a film with Anthony Newley and Joan Collins. Does anyone remember Connie? She died in the 90s.
Thank you!

I worked with Marilyn at the Co-op Fuel Office in Portsmouth before she became a bunny girl. I was member #1 of the new club there. Marilyn looks as lovely today as she did then. Lovely funny personality too.

I was the resident photographer at Stocks house and the news was broken to me by a friend a couple of weeks ago and have to say it shook me to the core. I remember so many great times with so many lovely people, Kenny, John P, john C and many many more than I can list. I remember when Victors monkey went missing only to find that the cheeky little wooly monkey was raiding the fridge ing the kitchen when it was closed by accessing the outside window! Victor was a man of standards and I respected him immensely. Bad language in the house from anyone was number one. Theft was a number two. I remember a time when a milk jug was stolen and Victor offered a reward far in excess of the value of that jug, because he wanted to find that person that took advantage of his friendship and trust. Marilyn? Many thought of her as a glamorous lady that graced Victor where ever he went. Let me tell you, she was and is a real lady that would make anyone proud. I remember her even getting up and emptying ash trays at the bar because they looked unsightly. New years eve was always a great event and can still see her in that devils outfit posing as she does so well. Victor was a man of principle and sometimes judged as man that didn’t respect the ladies, yes he was a Playboy, but he was also a gentleman and a man I always admired and will miss him terribly. I can still see that sign in the jacuzzi, Costumes to be worn at all times unless body 100 percent perfect”. That was Victor. God bless you Victor and Marilyn, I hope you treasure the many memories as I do that he left.

I remember in the 70’s he always had the company of a tiny, fully dressed, pet monkey, which he took everywhere. Can’t remember it’s name. Hope to read his memoirs one day! lived a full life RIP

RIP
A very good friend of mine was a Bunny Girl in the sixties, she said it was so proper, no messing, and she always felt very well protected in her job.

I met Mr Lownes on Christmas by pure chance.

I accidentally left my car keys in the lock of my car which I found out to my surprise was opposite his house.

One of his friends left a note to say they had the keys.

Un be-knowing, I knocked on the door and was met by a couple of very nice girls who asked me to come in. After a quick chat, and seeing the amazing pictures on the wall.

I was taken into the dining room of this great house and I met Mr Lownes, he was sat, wearing a dark red smoking jacket, looking elegant as ever. I introduced myself to him. I could not believe who’s home I was in, what an honor, I acted “cool”, I could not believe who I just met and shock hands with.

Marilyn Cole was so welcoming too and ask us to stay for coffee ,I thought I was intruding, especially as it was Christmas day, so I left with car keys in hand.

I was a my honor to meet you Sir, Good Bless you Mr Lownes.
