Something More About the Legendary Hugh Hefner

April 9, 1926, Chicago was the date and place when the legendary Hugh Hefner was born.

As The Hollywood Reporter reported, Hugh got the idea for his magazine while he was working for Esquire magazine, as a promotional copywriter.

Furthermore, Hugh decided to quit his job at the magazine after they declined his request for 5 dollars raises. As we can see, that was the best decision in his life.

Hefner was only 26-years-old when he raised 8,000 dollars from investors. Also, his mother lent him 1,000 dollars. Hugh utilized the money to found his magazine, Playboy.

He has got great moments during his career. The first issue of the magazine was published back in 1953. The cover page offered a nude photo of Marilyn Monroe. (4)

Playboy was an instant hit and sold over 50,000 copies. The magazine targeted the male audience.

Moreover, Hugh had many relationships over his life, as well as three marriages.

However, Hugh could never forget about Marilyn Monroe. That is why he purchased a place next to her in which he wanted to get buried.

But, it is interesting that Hugh actually never met Marilyn in person. In an interview with Piers Morgan back in 2011, Hugh said that he had only talked to her once on the phone.

He was sad because she passed away before he got the chance to meet her.

After all, Hugh Hefner will always be remembered. May he rest in peace.
