Guests at a recent Playboy Mansion fundraiser reported symptoms of fever, cough and fatigue.

Los Angeles County health officials are investigating reports that dozens of people contracted respiratory illnesses after a fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion.

The Los Angeles Times says Saturday that the county’s Department of Public Health sent an e-mail with a survey to all who attended the Feb. 3 event at the L.A. mansion, saying that they had received reports of problems including pneumonia.

The fundraiser was part of the DOMAINfest Global conference, attended by some 700 people from 30 countries in nearby Santa Monica.

David Castello tells the Times he attended the fundraiser and was sick for the next five days with a fever, cough, headaches and back spasms, and remains fatigued a week later.

Health department officials and Playboy representatives did not immediately reply to requests for comment.

Anne Francis, the star of Forbidden Planet and Honey West has died in Santa Barbara at the age of 80.

The actress died of complications from pancreatic cancer in a retirement home, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The former child star had parts in more than 30 movies during the late 1950s and most of the 1960s. She became a cult idol when she starred opposite Leslie Nielsen in the 1956 MGM movie Forbidden Planet.

“I got that part because I was under contract to MGM and I had good legs,” Francis told Starlog magazine in a 1992 interview, according to the Times.

Francis also had roles in Bad Day at Black Rock and funny Girl. She may be best known for her role as a seductive private eye with a pet ocelot in Honey West. She won a Golden Globe and garnered an Emmy nomination for the role.

Married and divorced twice, Francis leaves behind two daughters, Jane Uemura and Maggie.

Pancreatic cancer  is difficult to treat because symptoms are not often found till the late stages, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer include smoking, hereditary disorders, chronic pancreatitis and long-term diabetes.
