This has been a hoax before, but some pretty reliable sources say it is so.

And absolutely no one will say "but now he's in a better place."

He had a helluva run.

He founded an empire and changed the way the world looked at nudity and the Playboy adult life style. Thanks Hugh.

Hugh Hefner was an Army Soldier in World War II.

A descendent of Plymouth governor William Bradford from back in America's colonial days, Hefner was born in Chicago in 1926. He always had smarts (he had an IQ rating of 152 as a child) and showed an interest in the journalistic life early on when he started a high school newspaper. Upon graduation in 1944 he enlisted in the Army as an infantry clerk; during Basic Training he won a sharpshooter badge for firing the M1 and made it through "Killer College," in which troops went through maneuvers while throwing real grenades. Posted at Camp Adair in Salem, Oregon, and Camp Pickett in Virginia, Hefner contributed cartoons for Army newspapers.

I never thought about it until I heard him say it in an interview, but in 1953, when he mailed those copies of the first issue to subscribers, he knew he was risking being arrested on federal charges of sending pornography through the US mail. It was a huge risk, and it paid off. All business involves risk, but this was a big one.
