In a third season episode of HBO's sexy soap, titled "Sex and Another City," the girls -- Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis -- leave New York for an LA vacation. At a movie premiere party, Hef invites Samantha (Cattrall) to join him and the Bentley twins for a drink. In voiceover, Carrie (Parker) confides, "Samantha had worshipped Hugh Hefner ever since she was old enough to steal her father's Playboy magazines." Later, Carrie adds, "One woman's pornographer is another woman's spiritual leader." Hef then invites the quartet to a Playmate pool party. After an afternoon by the Grotto, an intoxicated Samantha falsely accuses a Playmate of stealing her fake Fendi purse, and Hef has the bouncers throw the New Yorkers out.
