Hefner has his legacy. It’s not positive, in my opinion. He is something of the “Godfather” of the sexual revolution.
Was the sexual revolution really a good movement for society? All of us have our opinions. Mine is that it was not good, overall.
I had heard, just hearsay, that Hefner was more upset about the public image of Playboy being hurt by the Dorothy Stratton murder, rather than having any real remorse over her death. Because, in his world, all the girls are interchangeable. There’s always a new playmate the next month. Etc.
He got a lot of publicity from the reality show “The Girls Next Door”, which featured three of his playmates/live in girlfriends at that time. But, what people may not realize, is that he had been living that way for decades, even though that show started in 2005. He had a revolving door of girls moving in and out over the decades.
I wasn’t aware of a non-dark side to Playboy.
In the book about the beautiful Dorothy Stratten's murder, it chronicles her journey to becoming a top Playboy model.
She tells about her first visit to the Playboy Mansion as a young inexperienced girl.
She was lured to the infamous grotto pool under false pretenses.
There Hefner came up to her and made advances. She protested.
Then without her consent, he forced her into sex.
Did Heffner have a NOT dark side?
An abortions loving piece of garbage.
Soulmates forever.
A 91 year old creep died. Good.
Then only lesson to be learned from Hefner and “Playboy” is that people will do anything for money. Anything.
Peter Bogdanovich hasn’t got any room to be accusing anyone of being a pervert. He was a class A pervert himself.
After his fling with Dorothy, and her murder, he moved on to Dorothy’s underage sister.
