885-0897, ext. 110. Events Calendar Hugh Hefner, the ultimate playboy who frolicked through life long enough to become an icon in his own time, died Wednesday night at 91. Playboy Enterprises announced death on Twitter and released a statement saying Hefner died at his home of natural causes surrounded by family. Shortly after, son Cooper released a state- ment recalling his and impactful life as a media and cultural Even in death, Hef retains his rakish savoir faire: In 1992, he paid $75,000 to obtain the cemetery vault next to Marilyn Monroe, thereby ensuring he could spend eternity with first cover girl.

Hefner was the unlikeliest of skin-trade revolution- aries. Raised in Chicago under the watchful eyes of con- servative parents, a hormonal Hefner quickly found that his average looks could be overcome by his talent for cartooning and an innate desire to challenge but- toned-down 1950s conventions. Hefner first learned his way around a magazine as a copywriter for Esquire. But when he was denied a raise there, he sold what little furniture he had and laid the foundation for a publishing empire. In 1953 a time when states could legally ban con- traceptives, when the word was not allowed on Love Hefner published the first issue of Playboy, featuring naked photos of Monroe and an edi- torial promise of sophistication and The Great Depression and World War II were over and America was ready to get undressed.

Success came fast and furious for the fledgling pub- lisher, who was both tapping into and fueling the counterculture bonfire that raged throughout the 1960s. His Chicago mansion became a hub of outra- geous activity, a Parisian salon set in a Roman bath- house. Although during this period Hefner drew his share of fire from women and men alike charging he was sexist and amoral, these would prove to be Hef- glory years, says Steven Watts, author of Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American tend to forget about how truly unique he was in those early says Watts, whose 500-page biog- raphy paints the portrait of a driven man willing to stop at nothing in order to achieve his vision. really was a huge cultural Beyond helping nudity go mainstream, Hefner also ushered in upscale consumerism with gadget reviews that would anticipate by decades magazines such as Gear. lesser-known fact is that Hefner was as re- sponsible for the consumer revolution as he was the sexual says Watts.

Hefner traded his native Midwest for Los Angeles just as his fame was taking off. He bought a Holmby Hills mansion in 1971 for the then-outrageous sum of $1 million. By design, the one-time cartoonist was on his way to becoming a caricature. Though no longer needing to work day and night, Hefner was never seen without his pipe and pajamas. Both his round bed and his infamous backyard grotto were filled with an endless parade of women.

The mansion became a second home for famous friends, ranging from legends such as Frank Sinatra to whoever was hot in Hollywood at that moment. His par- ties were infamous, costumed affairs that left little to the X-rated imagination. And then, somewhat abruptly, they went PG. After a stroke in 1985 at 59, Hefner throttled back on his raucous lifestyle and a few years later handed over the reins of his empire to daughter Christie. publisher Hugh Hefner dies at 91 MARCO DELLA CAVA USA TODAY.
