Warren Beatty’s Hostesses, Then and Now

DRESS CODE Bunnies: Satin ears, bow ties, and cottontails added naughtier touch to already-naughty bustier suit. Moombas: Tiny tank tops make it hard to tell waitresses from customers.

GROPE FACTOR Bunnies: One bold Bunny made off with rib king Tony Roma. Moombas: Jaycee Gossett dazzled Val Kilmer, now her beau, during night-manager stint.

CASH WITHDRAWAL Bunnies: Lauren Hutton scored $450 one 1962 night, then had to store cash in cleavage – right next to rolled-up socks. Moombas: Tip average of $250 barely covers pair of kitten-heel Jimmy Choo sandals.

SERVICE CHARGE Bunnies: Acrobatic “Bunny Dip” was de rigueur when delivering drinks: Bunnies faced tables with tail, arched back, and lifted left heel. Moombas: Waitresses serve martinis by stem – ladies first. “We’re friendly but aloof,” says one.
