Hugh Hefner Obit

Playboy magazine founder and sexual revolution symbol Hugh Hefner has died. He was 91. The magazine released a statement saying Hefner died at his home of natural causes Wednesday night surrounded by family. Founding the magazine in 1953, Hefner built a brand that defined the sexual culture of the second half of the 20th century. For decades, he was the pipe-smoking, silk-pajama-wearing center of a constant fantasy party at Playboy mansions.
