Title: RIP Hugh Hefner
Post by: bayonetbrant on September 28, 2017, 05:11:36 AM
Every man wanted to be him; every woman wanted to be with him

http://abcnews.go.com/US/hugh-hefner-dead-91/story?id=50144683

QuotePlayboy founder Hugh Hefner died Wednesday, Playboy Enterprises, Inc. announced. He was 91.

"Hugh M. Hefner, the American icon who in 1953 introduced the world to Playboy magazine and built the company into one of the most recognizable American global brands in history, peacefully passed away today from natural causes at his home, The Playboy Mansion, surrounded by loved ones," Playboy Enterprises, Inc. said in a statement Wednesday night.

Hefner is survived by his wife Crystal and four grown children: Christie, who served as CEO of Playboy Enterprise for more than 20 years; David, Marston and Cooper, the latter of whom currently serves as Chief Creative Officer at the company.

God, how I remember being a kid and sneaking my stepdad's Playboys. I think the best blessing I ever heard was, "when you die, may Hugh Hefner's life pass before your eyes". If only! RIP Mr. Hefner, you were a pioneer for certain.

I remember being 14 or 15, coming home from school and finding all my hidden Playboys and Penthouse magazines stacked on my dresser with a note from my Mom saying I should hide them better. At least she didn't throw them out....like she did my comics.  ::)

Playmate of the Year Debra Jo Fondren was a cousin by marriage. I was a teenage boy when she won the title. Back then, the family viewed it as a scandal, ha!
