Hugh Hefner Dead!

THE founder of Playboy, Hugh Hefner, has died, the iconic brand has confirmed.

In a tweet on its official channel Playboy said Mr Hefner, also the star of the E! reality TV series The Girls Next Door, died today at the age of 91.

Born Hugh Marston Hefner on April 9, 1926 in Chicago, Hefner introduced America to the world of Playboy in December 1953 and ever since, it has been one of the most recognisable brands in the world.

The first ever issue of Playboy featured a nude Marilyn Monroe on the cover.

A statement from Playboy said Mr Hefner died “peacefully” and “from natural causes” at The Playboy Mansion. He was “surrounded by loved ones”.

  • RIP Hugh - thanks for the memories.

    Hugh played a massive role in my formative years. The number of hours I spent alone in my room with a Playboy (or Penthouse) magazine as a teenager is truly mind boggling :)

    • Live your reply Fong!
      I snorted!
  • As my dad used to say, "I only read them for the articles" ;)

  • Rumors he choked on a form of American Viagra. Lodged in his wind pipe and died of a stiff neck.
  • Well at least that one less smut to have to concern ourselves with.
  • Thanks for looking out for our welfare slippery#4
  • Not to mention all the incest that must have happened after Adam and Eve.....
  • A man amongst men. Men wanted to be him women wanted to do him.
    He changed the way we looked at women. Hugh you will be sorely missed.
    Vale the Great Hugh Hefner
  • Did anyone know he was born with one nut.
