Hollywood reflects on Hugh Hefner after Playboy legend dies at 91
- 7 years ago
The man, the myth, the legend Hugh Hefner has passed away at the age of 91, surrounded by loved ones in the place he held dearest – The Playboy Mansion.
Hef leaves behind four children, and his third wife, 31-year-old Crystal Hefner, but of course he’s one of Hollywood and the world’s most iconic figures in media, publishing and entertainment.
A statement from his son, Cooper Hefner, at Playboy Enterprises announced that he died of natural causes, and says, “My father lived an exceptional and impactful life as a media and cultural pioneer and a leading voice behind some of the most significant social and cultural movements of our time in advocating free speech, civil rights and sexual freedom.”
Of course, Hef made a personal and lasting impression on Hollywood stars for decades, many of whom either posed in his magazines or attended his world famous and exclusive parties at the Playboy mansion.
Kim Kardashian Tweeted “RIP to the Legendary Hugh Hefner. I’m so honored to have been part of the Playboy team! You will be greatly missed! Love you Hef! Xoxo.”
But we’re positive that when Hef is laid to rest in the plot next to Marilyn Monroe’s in Los Angeles, there will be a lot more than just the Girls Next Door that show up to give their respects
