As much as anyone, Hugh Hefner turned the world on to sex. “He defined a lifestyle and ethos that lie at the heart of the Playboy brand, one of the most recognizable and enduring in history.”Few publications have so thoroughly reflected the tastes and ambitions of their creators as Hefner’s Playboy.
