How Hugh Hefner Exploited Marilyn Monroe to start his Playboy Empire in 1953
Hefner, who died in 2017 at the age of 91, was laid to rest next to Marilyn Monroe, Hollywood's most famous actress. It's hardly a coincidence, though, because he notoriously paid almost $75,000 to buy the crypt next to hers in 1992. Hugh never met Marilyn, and she may not have been a major admirer of his, so this has sparked a lot of questions.
'I'm a sucker for blondes, and she is the ideal blonde,' he told CBS Los Angeles. It has a sense of completion about it. 'I'm going to spend the rest of my life with Marilyn.'
Let's dive into the story behind how Hugh Hefner started playboy magazine by exploiting Marilyn Monroe.
