hugh hefner dead or alive

Early life Hefner was born in Chicago, Illinois, the elder of two sons born to Grace Caroline (née Swanson; 1895–1997) and Glenn Lucius Hefner (1896–1976), both teachers.Hefner's mother was of Swedish descent and his father had German and English ancestry.On his father's side, Hefner is a direct descendant of Plymouth governor William Bradford.He has described his family as "conservative, Midwest, Methodist."He went to Sayre Elementary School and Steinmetz High School, then served as a writer for a military newspaper in the U.S. Army from 1944 to 1946. He later graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign with a B.A. in psychology with a double minor in creative writing and art in 1949, earning his degree in two and a half years. After graduation, he took a semester of graduate courses in sociology at Northwestern University but dropped out soon after.
Career Working as a copywriter for Esquire, he left in January 1952, after being denied a $5 raise. In 1953, he mortgaged his furniture, generating a bank loan of $600 (or $800—he cannot recall which) and raised $8,000 from 45 investors— including $1,000 from his mother ("Not because she believed in the venture," he told E! in 2006. "But because she believed in her son") – to launch Playboy, which was initially going to be called Stag Party. The undated first issue, published in December 1953, featured Marilyn Monroe from her 1949 nude calendar shoot and sold over 50,000 copies.Hefner, who never met Monroe, bought the crypt next to hers at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.After it was rejected by Esquire magazine in 1955, Hefner agreed to publish in Playboy Charles Beaumont's science fiction short story, "The Crooked Man," about straight men being persecuted in a world where homosexuality was the norm. After receiving angry letters to the magazine, Hefner wrote a response to criticism where he said, "If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society then the reverse was wrong, too." Hefner is portrayed as a gay rights pioneer in the documentary film, Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel.
On June 4, 1963, Hefner was arrested for selling obscene literature after an issue of Playboy featuring nude shots of Jayne Mansfield was released.[citation needed] A jury was unable to reach a verdict.
His former secretary, Bobbie Arnstein, was found dead in a Chicago hotel room after an overdose of drugs in January 1975. Hefner called a press conference to allege that she had been driven to suicide by narcotics agents and federal officers. Hefner further claimed the government was out to get him because of Playboy's philosophy and its advocacy of more liberal drug laws.In 2009, Hefner talks about making a film about his life.He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for television and has made several movie appearances as himself. In 2010, he received a "worst supporting actor" nomination for a Razzie award for his performance in Miss March.A documentary by Brigitte Berman, Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel was released on July 30, 2010. This was reportedly the first time that Hefner granted full access to a documentary filmmaker.In 1999, Hefner financed the Clara Bow-documentary, "Discovering the It-girl." "Nobody has what Clara had. She defined an era and made her mark on the nation," he stated.


hugh hefner dead or alive ???


You guys must have heard of the big breaking news, of course it’s so like trendy, 85-year-old Hugh Hefner, the owner of playboy magazine and playboy mansion is DEAD.

NOT.

Who even believe such silly rumors? So what are the facts and the fiction? Let’s analyze.

A shocking unconfirmed report has surfaced and circulated around the internet and world news since Monday stating Hugh Hefner had died following a heart attack on July 11th. Typical for an old man, but Hefner is not typical.

This actual fiction has led the website: Thinkrichmusic.com to believe in such ridiculous news; can you even imagine? They even ridiculed out ‘The unexpected and tragic death of founder and Chief Creative Officer of Playboy will make a lot of people sad but the Playboy officials said that the Playboy magazine will be printed as usually.’ Moreover, even one of the Playboy star believed! How does that person even work there?!

We all know that Hef was very successful and highly controversial person, but this is plain stupid. People should not believe news that is not officially delivered from the ‘MAIN’ source itself, in this case it’s the Playboy website.

Also, further to the hoax, Hugh Hefner himself has tweeted out to clarify his death rumor that he is actually fine and pretty much alive.
