Sorry to be the one to provide a dose of reality here but 1) Hefner paid the girls a salary to live with him and he got them cars, and 2) he handed qualudes out like candy so the girls would be able to stomach having sex with him.

If he is your idol you should choose a much better role model.

Is the above the most balanced take on Hugh Hefner's legacy? Maybe not.

Is it a lot more insightful and honest than the hagiographic twitter storm from celebs celebrating his misogyny? Probably.

Here's another readable link on a possible view of his real legacy, just a glimpse, a small portion because 91 years in the life of a man comprise many facets. To make a fair assessment, to judge someone with balance and fairness is not always that easy on this planet since he was born, in the year 1926 (April 9).

He was into analog turntables and LPs, did you know that?

FBI is investigating Hugh Hefner's death. They suspect foreplay.
