Hugh Hefner (Part I of II)
COMING SOON!
Hugh Hefner launched a multi-million dollar entertainment industry with Playboy magazine in 1953. As he lived out the lifestyle his magazine and subsequent bunny clubs epitomised, the world's opinion divided as some mounted their moral high horses while others got into the spirit of things.
Hugh Hefner
born: 09-04-1926
birth place: Chicago, USA
The first issue of Playboy magazine, featuring a now-famous photograph of Marilyn Monroe, was produced on a kitchen table in his apartment.
Hitting newsstands in December 1953, it carried no cover date because Hefner was not sure when or if he would be able to produce another. However the first issue sold more than fifty thousand copies. Thus began the impressive life of Hefner and his globally notorious magazine.
Hefner has been married twice, and has four children. His daughter Christie joined her father's editorial staff and now holds the title of Chairman of Playboy.
Epitomising the lifestyle promoted by his magazine, he has also had a long line of mistresses. His girlfriends have included several Playboy Playmates of the Year, such as Marilyn Cole, Lillian Muller, and Patty MacGuire.
Hefner, now in his eighties, currently lives with seven blonde mistresses, whose ages range from eighteen to twenty eight. He once told Vanity Fair magazine, "And here's the surprise bit, it's what they want!"
He purchased the crypt in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Westwood, California beside Marilyn Monroe, so as to be interred next to her.
