Storyline

Edit

Hundreds of celebrities from movies, TV, sports, politics, and business, put on a pair of pajamas or negligee, and head for 10236 Charring Cross Road, off of Sunset Blvd. in Holmby Hills, California, for one very special Saturday evening in July, 1985, to celebrate The Mid Summer Night's Dream Party at the Playboy Mansion. This was a special 'over the top' Mid Summer Night's Dream Party, because Hugh M. Hefner had suffered a stroke in March of that year. This was his 'coming out party', and his return to the social life he had become famous for. Almost all of the Playmates from the previous years were on hand to help host this party as well. This event was aired live on Playboy TV as it happened, and then edited, and made into a feature film that aired many times in 1985. The idea was to make the viewers feel like they were actually at the party, without really being there. —Unknownian

The best Playboy Mid Summer Night's Dream Party ever

The 1985 Mid Summer Night's Dream Party was the event of the 80s in Hollywood. It was Hugh Hefner's coming out party after recovering from his stroke on March 6th of that same year. It was the first time he appeared in public without his traditional 'tobacco-pipe'.

Hollywood turned out for that year's summer party to welcome Hef back to his social life. Sports stars, movie stars, politicians and corporate big wigs, were all part of the festivities at the Playboy Mansion that year.

The Mid Summer Night's Dream parties were all aired live on the Playboy channel, and the 1985 party was done right to make sure that year's party was going to be filmed first rate, from the equipment used to the decorations, food, and choice of live interviews.

On sports trivia, Jessie Eastland introduced Moses Malone to Jerry Buss that evening at Jerry's request, and on Romance trivia, Shannon Tweed (former Playmate of the year) met Gene Simmons (drummer for Kiss) at this party. The Malone-Buss-Lakers marriage never got off the ground, but at this writing Tweed and Simmons are still together, and were finally married on September 23rd, 2016.

1985's Party became the most viewed, Playboy Mansion pajama party ever. The crew that filmed it, really nailed the feeling of the mansion parties, and if you can get yourself a copy of this party, you won't be disappointed. If you are a fan of Playboy, this is a 'must see'. 10 of of 10 stars.
