Hugh Marston Hefner. Born April 9, 1926 in Chicago , died September 27, 2017 in Los Angeles. American publisher, founder and chief editor of Playboy magazine and Playboy Enterprises. Nickname - Hef. Hugh Hefner was born on April 9, 1926 in Chicago. His father was Glenn Lucius Hefner. His mother was Grace Caroline Swanson. According to Hefner, at the age of nine he published his first one-cent news newspaper, and in the seventh grade he took up a school newspaper that lasted a long time. He also created a small magazine called Shudder Magazine, or Shudder Club.
Two opposing realities - family, with its taboos, and cinematic, which created the illusion of freedom - subsequently directly influenced Hugh’s fate. Cinema became his salvation - a source of fantasy that helped to escape from home, full of limitations and «sin».
