 Loma Entertainment, a two-year-old subsidiary of Playboy Enterprises Playboy Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: PLA), also organized as New Playboy, Inc. (NYSE: PLAA), is the company founded by Hugh Hefner to manage the Playboy magazine empire. It was created in 1953 as the HMH Publishing Co., Inc.  International, Liberman will lead the company's efforts to produce more PG-style entertainment programming.

"We're producing television shows and feature films that target a mainstream audience' Liberman said, who joined Altn Loma a year and a half ago from Fox Broadcasting Co.'s original movies group, where she managed the story department.

The first project, "Girl Next Door: The Search For a Playboy Centerfold Playboy centerfold

," was co-produced with Bunin-Murray Productions, creator of MTV's "The Real World," and aired on Fox last May. It is now being distributed internationally.

"The Playboy brand has enormous international appeal, so we know that Alto Loma projects also have great potential abroad," Liberman said. "That's an additional revenue stream for the company."

Alto Loma also is co-producing a feature bio-pic based on the life of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner Hugh Marston Hefner (born April 9, 1926 in Chicago, Illinois), also referred to colloquially as Hef,[1] is the founder, editor-in-chief, and Chief Creative Officer of Playboy Enterprises[2]. He is the majority owner of Playboy Enterprise Inc.  with Imagine Entertainment and Universal Pictures.

There are plans to produce films and television not associated with the Playboy brand, although the slate so far has been tied to the parent company. Liberman said the association with Playboy, a symbol of adult male entertainment, hasn't affected how Alto Loma is received in the business.

"We've faced challenges every producer in town faces," she said. "Having the power of Playboy behind me helps because everyone knows the brand, and they realize that with the Alta Loma division we're trying to do something a little bit different. We'll branch out into different types of reality and lifestyle shows."

Liberman lives in Santa Monica Santa Monica (săn`tə mŏn`ĭkə), city (1990 pop. 86,905), Los Angeles co., S Calif., on Santa Monica Bay; inc. 1886. Tourism and retailing are important, and the city has motion-picture, biotechnology, and software industries.  with her husband.
