Ep: 1884 Laurel Woods - Strip Club Heiress

Laurel Woods offers an intimate, unflinching look at growing up inside her father’s strip club and the unexpected path her life took as an adult. After an injury ended Michael Woods’ career with the California Highway Patrol, he entered the adult entertainment industry, opening the Jet Strip Club with his partner, Horace Joseph McKenna Jr. (Big Mac). Their business flourished, leading to multiple clubs and millions of dollars in success. Twelve years later, Big Mac was found shot to death in his limousine outside his ranch, and Michael became the prime suspect. Eventually arrested and convicted, Michael’s imprisonment left Laurel to manage the family’s strip club empire while fighting for her father’s freedom. Along the way, she built her own career, working with Playboy, Lucasfilm, and MTV Networks, while confronting the complicated legacy of her family.
