Peace out, Hugh Hefner

“Godspeed, Hugh Hefner”: Playmates, celebrities, civil rights leaders remember the Playboy founder

A visionary editor who for decades threw lavish parties at his home, the Playboy Mansion, Hefner lived a glamorous Hollywood life, sharing time and photo ops with a diverse cast of celebrities, civil rights leaders and journalists.

The memories, condolences and even some jokes that people shared after Hefner’s death reflect the complicated legacy of the founder of Playboy magazine, who died at 91.

I don’t think Hefner and “civil rights” have ever crossed my mind at the same time. I’m not saying he wasn’t behind all that or that he wasn’t a strong supporter. I guess I’ve just thought more about bunnies when I have thought about him.

But how can one not trust the word of Rev Jesse Jackson Sr?
