[upbeat music playing]
[Jeana] Melonie Haller was a beautiful girl with a beautiful body.
She's an actress.
She got to work with the greatest actor,
John Travolta.
[Holly] For Melonie, Playboy was the next step.
This was, "Look at me, I'm glamorous, I'm sexy."
[Meghan] Unfortunately, what Melonie couldn't see at the time is that
this would have tragic consequences.
There were a lot of darker things
going on at the Playboy Mansion,
things being videotaped,
sexual boundaries being pushed.
[Dennis] He was a hedonist on steroids,
and anything that would satisfy his lust
or his appetite at the moment was fair game.
[Jeana] What happened in the '80s,
if it happened today,
people would be in jail.
I just don't know why no one warned her.
[theme music playing]
[Meghan]On April 13th, 1980...
[man on PA system] This is a New York City bound train, this station, Southampton...
...a train was commuting from Southampton,
all the way back to New York.
A conductor...
found a young woman.
Her clothes were torn.
Her makeup was smeared,
and she had bite marks on her neck.
The conductor found a portfolio
with many pictures in it.
It was a feature of a spread in Playboy.
He could see that the young woman
lying there bruised and battered
was the same woman that was featured in this Playboy spread.
And the victim was 22-year-old Melonie Haller.
Melonie Haller appeared in the March 1980 issue of Playboy.
Being in Playboy in 1980 was really exciting.
I think in Melonie's issue Bo Derek was on the cover.
There was all kinds of actresses who were posing.
Some of the covers I remember were like
Brooke Shields and Goldie Hawn,
and you were getting these really big names.
Playboy was huge in the late'70s, early '80s.
It was such a staple in American culture.
Playboy was being read by over five million people each month.
So it was really a big deal.
[Stella] The Playboy world
was at the peak of its powers.
Nudity was normal
plus Woodstock generation.
The media empire and the mood was very free.
People lived together, marriage was out of vogue,
clubbing was popular,
Saturday Night Feverhad just come out.
Everybody was discoing, and clubbing and partying,
and that was the culture.
[Holly] The original Playboy Mansion was in Chicago,
but in the early '70s Hef bought a property in Los Angeles
and called it Playboy Mansion West
and that turned into his home
and his hub for all the parties,
and all the things that would become legendary
about the Playboy world.
[Hugh] This was a house when I first got it,
that sort of turned out to be a blessing
because we were able to do something kind of special.
The Playboy Mansion was a really beautiful building.
It was on several acres of just beautiful grounds
and it just really felt like an escape.
He could hold these really lavish parties,
indoors, in the backyard.
So it became a really popular place for celebrities to just go
and, you know, party and nobody was gonna ask any questions
'cause they felt like they could indulge themselves
and it would be private and secret
and just an appropriate place for them to let loose.
[Jeana] I think a lot of girls come to California
and dream of being in the movies,
and Playboy was an easy stepping stone for them.
I am Jeana Keough.
My Playmate name was Jeana Tomasino.
I was Miss November 1980.
Playboy discovered me in Chicago.
My modelling agency's building,
it was the Playboy building.
Every time I walked in, somebody would discover me
in an elevator and I would say. "No, no, no."
But after being around the girls all coming in
excited to show their pictures and stuff,
after a couple of years,
it was like, "Okay I wanna do this.
I wanna be part of the sorority."
Playboy was a stepping stone for me and it changed my life
and brought me opportunities that I would never have had.
I remember meeting Melonie.
She was a beautiful girl.
She was already a working actress,
so I don't know that Melonie needed
any extra boost from Playboy.
She had a lot of talent.
Melonie was born in 1959 in New York City.
She grew up around the arts and theater and
I'm sure that's where she got her passion for acting.
[Meghan] And Melonie found herself getting some roles.
She got couple of small movie roles
including one in the French Connection.
Melonie Haller was in the French Connection when she was 12 years old.
She got to work with the greatest actor, Gene Hackman.
That had to be, like, the coolest experience.
But I think Melonie's biggest role was Welcome Back Kotter.
♪ Welcome back ♪
♪ Your dreams were your ticket out ♪
Welcome Back, Kotter was a sitcom in the '70s.
It was about a teacher and a classroom full of colorful characters.
[boys exclaiming and cheering in excitement]
[Meghan] Melonie Haller got a recurrent role as Angie Grabowski.
Um, kind of a gregarious, loving, endearing student.
[Holly] This is at a point in time in history
where people only have like three TV channels,
so everybody is watching the same thing.
So, being onWelcome Back, Kotter back then
was probably like being on Game of Thrones now,
like, so many eyes are on you.
[Meghan] Welcome Back, Kotterwas an extremely popular show.
Made even more popular with its star...
John Travolta.
John Travolta, ah, he was my heartthrob.
I was in love with him.
How wonderful to work with John Travolta,
and the fame that came of that.
[Holly] Acting alongside John Travolta while
his career was blowing up the way it was
must have made Melonie feel like,
"This could happen for me, too."
After Melonie's role in Welcome Back, Kotter came to an end,
she got an acting role in the made-for-TV movie
about the Hillside Strangler.
It really became her star on the rise.
Somebody brought her up to the Playboy Mansion,
and once Hef would see somebody,
he would just, you know,
and then go over and get her information and her phone number
and see if they wanted do a pictorial,
and she got discovered by Playboy.
[Holly] In each issue of Playboy,
there are kind of two types of models that went into Playboy.
There was like the new undiscovered talent
that was usually the Playmate of the Month centerfold.
And then there were the celebrities
or the women who had something
really interesting in their background.
I know Playboy and Hef definitely very much wanted
to feature Hollywood stars in the issue,
and Melonie Haller was an established actress.
An actress like Melonie would choose to do Playboy
because it would be a lot of publicity.
Again, this was like five million people
reading the magazine each month.
And it's a way for somebody like Melonie
who'd been playing teenage roles throughout the '70s,
she wanted to say, "I'm an adult. I'm sexy."
She wanted to be seen in a new light.
[Jeana] The name of her March '80 spread was "Welcome Back, Haller."
It was a great pictorial.
[Holly] Melonie is very beautiful
and kinda has that fresh face look,
like she could have easily been a Playmate.
But I think for Playboy it was exciting to feature
somebody who not only fits their beauty standard,
but has also been in recognizable projects.
[Jeana] She had some acting jobs,
so I think her pictorial was a little more special
than if she was just a Playmate of the Month.
[Meghan] She's featured looking sort of tough and sexy at the same time
in a leather jacket standing in front of a classic car.
[Holly] She is set up in kind of this
backstage dressing room type area.
It's very pretty and very much,
you know focusing on the fact
that she is a professional actress.
So the message is very clear.
It's very much geared towards
her being seen in a new light.
I think for her this was the next step.
This was, you know, "Look at me.
I'm all grown-up and glamorous. I'm sexy."
And it was a chance for directors and casting directors
to see her in a different way,
and perhaps get more work
and move forward with her career.
It's a lot of eyes on you. It's a lot of publicity.
And it's a way to make a statement.
After Melonie appeared in the magazine,
she was invited to the Mansion
and she went quite regularly.
In the entertainment industry, parties like that
are often seen as networking
because so many other important people go as well.
But according to some people who were with Hef
in the '70s and early 1980s,
there were a lot of darker things
going on at the Playboy Mansion,
like things being videotaped
and just like, sexual boundaries being pushed,
what seems to be a common theme in that era.
[Stella] Everyone was doing drugs,
and it was this whole era of promiscuous behavior,
and it was expected of you if you were at the Mansion.
If you went there you were gonna have to party and party hard,
and it was a mandatory part of the job.
[Meghan] Melonie spent a few weeks at the Mansion,
but I don't think this lifestyle was really for Melonie.
The Playboy lifestyle was one at the time of parties, wild parties,
and these were drug-fueled parties
and there was a lot of sex going on.
What happened in the '80s,
if it happened today,
those people would be in jail.
People don't put up with it anymore.
I'm sitting at the dining room table with six girls
and one says to me, "Hey, I don't wanna sleep with Hef.
Do you think I can be a centerfold if I don't sleep with him?"
And I'm like, "Oh, yeah, sure.
Just tell him you have a boyfriend or you're engaged
or... You don't have to sleep with him.
He sleeps with 11 other girls.
You don't have to sleep with him."
Few minutes later, "Jeana, Mr. Hefner would like to see you."
So I go up there and he's patting the bed, "Sit down."
I'm sitting there, like, "What the freak is going on?"
And then I hear...
[voice comes up to speed on recording]
"...engaged or, you don't have to sleep with him.
He sleeps with 11 other girls."
He had before anyone of us knew what it was,
he had microphones in the dining room.
He could hear everything we were saying.
So he was like, "Don't you ever tell a girl
that she doesn't have to sleep with me
'cause she has no chance
of being in the magazine if she doesn't."
[Stella] And at that time, Hefner and his people
would say, "Oh, no, she's here because she wants me."
And that was how they lived.
That was... That was the modus operandi.
[Jeana] You can't stay at the Mansion forever.
Melonie stayed a few weeks.
Did whatever she had to do PR-wise
and went home to her mom to get on with her life.
[Meghan] She returned home to live with her mother in New York City.
Unfortunately, what Melonie probably couldn't see at the time
is that this move would have tragic consequences.
[Dennis] My name is Dennis McDougal.
My beat on the newspaper
was... uh, the darker side of the business of, um,
movie making.
I mean, the history of movie business is...
if you have the talent and the looks,
then by God,
you're gonna be a star.
Melonie was that woman,
that young girl who decided she wanted to become a star.
And arguably she was well on the road.
[Meghan] Shortly after Melonie arrives back to New York,
Melonie was introduced to Roy Radin
by a photographer friend of hers
by the name of Ron Sisman.
Roy Radin was a showbiz producer
and kind of an agent of sorts.
Ron thought it would be good for Melonie to meet Roy Radin
'cause this might be a branching off in her career
going from modelling for Playboy
to doing more adult acting roles.
[Anthony] My name is Anthony Haden-Guest.
I describe myself as a writer, reporter and cartoonist.
Roy Radin was a fellow from a show business family
who'd apparently specialized
in the fairly defunct form of vaudeville
and found, um, like the bearded ladies or whatever, you know,
and he was doing very well with it.
Roy Radin fancied himself as a modern P.T. Barnum,
making his fortune by taking his show on the road,
and his show included
animal and human oddities
and this kind of vaudeville talent
really made him a fortune.
[Holly] Roy Radin was a very successful producer of live events.
He had made a ton of money before he even turned 30.
[Meghan] Roy Radin's father Alexander Radin, known as Broadway Al,
made his fortune by owning clubs
in Manhattan from the 1930s to 1950s.
And these were some very fancy well-known clubs,
where very important people went.
Roy almost certainly got his drive
from watching his father,
especially interacting with
kind of the elite and celebrities.
[Dennis] Roy Radin wanted to be a producer
in the motion picture business.
He based his career on networking
and promoting, um, people,
and made enough money to at least put a down payment
on this huge mansion out at the end of Long Island,
uh, they called Ocean Castle.
[Holly] In the 1980s you could find
many rich and powerful people in the entertainment industry
having their own mansions
where they would have their own decadent parties
and for the East Coast, the Hamptons
was a very sought after place to go.
The Hamptons is a really expensive prestigious place
that people on the East Coast like to go
during the summer to party.
[Dennis] Roy Radin certainly knew of Hefner and the Playboy Mansion
in, uh, Los Angeles.
And you could make a good case
for his trying to turn the Ocean Castle
into Playboy Mansion East.
[Meghan] Melonie had recently started dating a business man
by the name of Bob McKeage.
McKeage was kind of a slick business guy
known for loving wild parties,
uh, fancy cars and really fast times.
[Dennis] Ocean Castle was essentially a huge party house.
It was a non-stop party all the time,
and the idea was to network.
Anyone who was connected remotely
in any way, shape or form, to the entertainment business
or the media
were generally invited to these parties.
It was rumored that at these parties
he had all types of sexual debauchery,
psychedelic drugs.
Radin was also known for video-taping these parties
and the sexual endeavors that happened.
[Dennis] He had his own casting couch.
He was this kind of a,
the, the Harvey Weinstein of his era.
It was not unusual for people
who were involved in the entertainment business
and who had a kinky side to them
that they would get their own video cameras
and instead of just shooting, uh, vacation videos
with the family at Disneyland
uh, setting it up in the bedroom.
[Meghan] Radin was also rumored though to have
much more disturbing videos.
He was rumored to have snuff videos...
which are pornographic videos that feature actual murder.
[woman gasping]
The plan was for Melonie and her new boyfriend
to go out to the Hamptons and spend a weekend at Roy Radin's place.
[Holly] Melonie thought this party
would be a great networking opportunity,
so she brought along
a portfolio of some of her work
including her Playboy pictorial.
What she expected was that there'd be some socializing,
but it was supposed to be an opportunity for her
to show Radin her portfolio.
What Melonie had expected
was nothing like what actually happened.
[woman screaming]
[Meghan] Radin had notoriety.
He was famed in the field of entertainment,
and he had a lot of money,
a lot of powerful friends,
and a lot of influence.
[Dennis] He saw himself as a mover and shaker.
He saw himself as a player.
And he saw himself as a powerbroker.
[Holly] When Melonie arrived at the party
it became clear that Roy was not interested
in networking
and things started to take a sexual turn.
[Meghan] Instead of presenting her portfolio,
Radin kept plying her with drugs
and more drugs and alcohol,
to the point where she did feel completely in a daze
and completely incoherent.
[Dennis] I think that he was a hedonist on steroids,
and anything that would satisfy his lust
or his appetite at the moment was fair game.
[Holly] One of the scary aspects of the entertainment industry
is historically the lines have been very blurred
between casting and socializing
and then the casting couch comes into play
and to top it off, you have this situation
with someone with very extreme tastes.
[Meghan] At one point, two of the female guests,
one of whom was his fiancee, Toni Fillet,
brought out sexual bondage equipment.
I'm not sure how comfortable Melonie was,
but her date seemed to be.
Bob McKeage tried to tie Melonie up.
[Holly] Roy liked to film some of his encounters
and at some point with Melonie he brought his camera out.
And set up a tripod in his bedroom.
He was trying to duplicate Hugh Hefner's rumored hobby
of capturing everything on videotape.
[Meghan] This became uncomfortable for Melonie
and she began to resist.
In fact, she began fighting back.
And during that fight, she accidentally broke Roy Radin's camera.
Which totally enraged him.
Radin, Bob McKeage and the two females begin beating
and sexually assaulting Melonie.
[woman screaming]
One of the most terrifying layers of this story
is that Melonie's boyfriend was involved.
She had learned to trust this person
and then to have him turn on her like this is just brutal.
After the attack, Melonie's boyfriend Bob McKeage and Roy
actually called Melonie's mother.
[phone ringing]
[Meghan] Radin told Myra that Melonie was at his house
completely incoherent,
and that he had to find a way to get her home.
So, Myra pleaded with Radin
to please send her home in a limousine.
But Radin said no,
claiming that the $60 price tag was simply too high.
[Anthony] It was also rather heartbreaking in a way
what happened to that girl.
To start with, the incredible meanness
in putting her on the train,
these very rich people.
It was really heartless.
They transport Melonie and they simply throw her
on a train that is headed for New York City.
[man on PA system] This is a New York City bound train, this station, Southampton...
To be assaulted and brutally beaten in that way is a nightmare,
but to then just be dumped, left for dead on a train car,
it must have been horrifying.
[Lee] Working out in Southampton,
the clientele is pretty wealthy,
and you really have to be careful
who you're dealing with.
I was working in the office
in Westhampton, the Seventh squad office.
[phone ringing]
And I received the call
saying that they had a body in Brookhaven Hospital
that had been assaulted.
And when we got there,
we were shown into the emergency room,
and Melonie Haller was laying there...
and she was a real wreck,
but still alive.
[monitor beeping]
[Lee] Melonie Haller was laying there
in the hospital gown in the emergency room.
When I got to first look at her
you would never think
that she was a... a Playmate
because she was... looked horrible.
She had bruises on her arms and a couple on her face.
Her hair was every which way,
and she was like really out of it.
We tried to ask her what happened.
When we were speaking to her, she was really getting worse.
That's when the nurse came in
and asked us to come back
in the next morning and, and talk to her.
The only thing she did say
is she was in Roy Radin's house.
They called it the Ocean Castle.
[Lee] Roy Radin put on a lot of variety shows
for the police departments and different organizations
all around New York state,
Connecticut, he went to all the surrounding area in New York,
and put on these vaudeville shows.
Anybody was in any of the police departments knew of him.
He was... he was a good-time guy.
If he knew you were a policeman, he'd buy you a drink and...
Yeah, he was that kind of guy, you know, he was...
wanted to be in tight with the police.
[Meghan] Radin apparently had a very good relationship with the police.
In fact, it was well known
that he donated
large sums of money
to the local police union.
[Dennis] And he played that to his benefit.
Uh, if anyone complained about
too much noise at the Ocean Castle,
he'd just say, "Well, you know, go ahead and complain
to the cops about it and see what happens.
I've got people in high places
and they're...
uh, they're gonna side with me, not with you."
[Lee] We come back on Monday to talk to Melonie Haller
sometime in the morning
and by that point she, you know, she looked pretty good,
and she told us at that time that she was assaulted,
and said she was also raped.
She told us about the drugs that they had given her
and she said that she was in Roy Radin's master bedroom
and there was a video camera on a tripod
at the foot of the bed facing the bed.
[Meghan] Melonie describes the events that happened.
She also tells Detective Roman that she is pretty sure
she saw a gun in Radin's bedroom.
This was all that Detective Roman needed to hear.
He had the information now that he needed
to go to the courts and ask for a search warrant,
and that's exactly what he did.
[Lee] Once we got a detailed statement from Melonie Haller,
on the basis of that statement
the ADA got us a search warrant.
When we went up to the house,
we didn't have any local police with us
because at the time,
we know a lot of the local police
had been working for Radin
and we didn't want anybody to drop a dime on us
when we... before we got there.
[sirens approaching]
It looked like a castle,
at the Ocean Castle when you pulled up.
It was right on the ocean in Southampton Village
in prime real estate area.
Uh, I believe it had like, 72 rooms in it.
We went in
and we kinda gathered everybody into the living room,
and I sent one guy to each room
and they started searching.
When I saw Roy Radin,
he was probably in his, maybe 30s.
He wasn't very tall.
Uh, he was very overweight.
Fairly good-looking man.
[Meghan] Roy Radin seems to be in disbelief
that Detective Roman
would dare enter his premises.
He is threatening him with
all of the people that he knows
and that he knows the sheriff.
Once he realizes that Roman is not deterred
by his rantings and ravings,
he says he is gonna call his lawyer,
and instead he starts calling other people
that he knows in the police department.
When we were there, he was making phone call
after phone call. He was calling everybody.
I knew that the people who he were calling
weren't gonna put any pressure on us.
I know the Sheriff of Suffolk County knew him,
didn't want to be rude to him.
But he wasn't about to tell us
to get out of the house and forget the search.
[Meghan] Roman simply tells anyone on the other line
that this was none of their business.
He was going to conduct a fair investigation.
[Lee] Melonie Haller told us
that there was drugs in the house
and there was also, she had seen a revolver in the house,
a loaded revolver.
One of the detectives found the drugs in Toni Fillet's room,
and then we found the gun in Radin's room.
Bob McKeage was there. He was in the living room with everybody else.
He was very quiet.
He was like melting into the couch.
He was a distinguished-looking guy.
He was dressed to the nines.
He has black rim glasses on.
He looked like a school teacher.
He said he didn't know Melonie Haller.
Never saw her.
Didn't even know she was there,
had nothing to do with her.
The main thing that we were looking for,
she told us about the bedroom
with the, uh, video camera.
And when we found that room,
we knew that's where everything had happened.
We took the video camera
with the tape inside of it.
When we got the film,
we took it over to the police AV section
and asked them if they could find anything on it.
They realized right away that the film had been erased.
They said probably not gonna be able to get any evidence.
[Meghan] Rumor had it is well that Roy Radin had gotten wind
of this search from some of his friends in the department.
When they got the tip about the raid on Radin's house,
they had deleted all of that video camera footage.
[Lee] Our AV department went through the whole tape.
There were two frames that were on the beginning of the tape that was erased.
And they found them.
I guess when it erased, it didn't get the two
that were still inside the reel.
And that was a few frames
that showed McKeage and Melonie Haller
on the bed.
He denied that he even knew her.
When we saw that tape, I knew we had him good.
[Lee] We arrested Roy Radin,
and we arrested Toni Fillet, his girlfriend,
and we arrested Bob McKeage for assault.
[Holly] The story breaks. It becomes national news.
Story like this would attract
a lot of attention and intrigue.
You have this person who is a successful producer.
He's throwing all these mysterious,
lavish exclusive parties.
There's all kinds of, you know,
scary things going on.
So, it captures the public's imagination.
[Meghan] Radin consistently denied to the press
that he was guilty of a crime.
What he said instead was that he and Melonie
and his other guests had engaged
in consensual sex games
and to explain her injuries,
he said that Melonie
had sustained a slip and fall
on the stairs at the mansion.
[Holly] Her issue of Playboyis still on the stands,
and it must have been
a terrifying thing to go through
on top of what had already happened.
It must have been horrifying.
People are judging you because you still have this
nude pictorial on newsstands.
That must have felt incredibly unfair
and scary and isolating.
Playboy probably would have tried
to distance themselves from this situation
and just not comment on it at all.
[Stella] They don't want any connection to that.
And Playboywas really strict about,
if there was any trouble, that was it.
You were sent away.
You weren't getting any pictorials.
You weren't getting any work.
You're considered a liability.
And that's what happened to Melonie.
But anytime something happened to a woman,
it was talked about amongst
all of the people in the Mansion.
And it was well-known and documented in the press
and she was a casualty,
and everyone talked about it and how terrible it was.
[Meghan] The press had printed stories
that kinda blamed the victim.
They were printing headlines that
she must have been complicit somehow.
We've heard this before,
that she must've asked for this.
[Holly] Unfortunately, people can have some prejudices
against people who choose to pose nude
or portray themselves in Playboy.
When something like this happens,
there can be a lot of victim-blaming,
saying, "Well, you're portraying yourself in this certain way,"
or, "You're going to this party,"
you know, as if somebody should've known
that was going to happen.
People have a way of looking at you
expressing yourself that way, as if you're asking for it.
I think that we who are alive and well
in the post Me-Too era
may have a little difficulty reaching back
20, 30, 40 years ago,
when women like Melonie Haller,
um, were viewed as being sluts, prostitutes.
"They dressed provocatively.
They came on to these men."
But there is an awareness now
that people like Melonie Haller
were speaking the truth.
[Lee] The videotape pointed a lot of fingers
that she was there partying on her own free will
until the fight broke out.
So, the DA didn't wanna pursue with the rape charge.
[Meghan] In the end, Bob McKeage was convicted of sexual assault,
but he only served 30 days in jail for this crime.
I thought because it was a felony, he'd get at least a year,
and we were surprised when we heard that,
but at that point, it was all,
and we couldn't do anything about it.
Roy Radin was not convicted of a sexual offense.
Radin was convicted
of possession of an illegal firearm
and cocaine and LSD
for which he paid a $1,000 fine.
[Holly] Thirty days in jail is nothing for assault.
It's really scary to me.
And Radin did not get any jail time.
[Dennis] At the end of the '70s
and into the '80s,
Radin had kinda fallen on hard times,
and wasn't doing as well
in part because he had traded in his notoriety
for a roaring coke habit.
[Lee] Because of what happened at Southampton, he was done.
No more variety shows,
no more police departments wanting anything to do with him.
So, he was completely done with his career.
After Roy saw the wisdom in leaving New York
where his name was mud,
came to Hollywood
and tried to break into the movies.
A woman who was married to a major cocaine trafficker
did not get on well with Radin.
Her action was to
give the order to kill Roy Radin.
[gunshot]
And that was, uh, the end of both him
and his so-called career.
These stories all end the same way.
You put out bad karma and it usually comes back to bite you on the butt,
or kill you.
[Holly] Today Melonie has taken herself
out of public eye and lives privately.
I can certainly understand her choice to do so
after everything she went through
in the entertainment industry.
[Meghan] You have a young innocent woman
doing the right things for her career.
She has aspiration, hopes, dreams.
Her career would never recover from the incident.
The two parties responsible for this crime
were barely given a slap on the wrist.
[Jeana] I just don't know why no one warned her.
I do not believe justice was served.
Melonie was an up-and-coming brilliant little actress,
who had it all going on
losing in the court system
and not feeling like she had anyone to support her.
I think it just made her disappear
from... everything.
[Dennis] As long as there is an entertainment industry
and there is a young woman out there
who wants to be a star
and there is a young man
who wants to be a moghul
and exercise, uh, his right to be a full-blown hedonist
without impunity,
this story is...
never gonna end.
