Weird but Hugh

Things you might not have known about Hugh Hefner:

He’ll be buried next to Playboy’s first cover girl, Marilyn Monroe, in a crypt at LA’s Westwood Village cemetery. He bought the crypt for $75,000 in 1992.

Downing too many Viagra pills made him deaf, his widow, Crystal Harris, said in 2011.

Hef ’s first wife, Mildred Williams, cheated on him days before their wedding in 1949. She felt such guilt that she allowed him to sleep with other women.

After divorcing Williams in 1959, Hefner experimented with bisexuality and enjoyed orgies.

He is ninth cousins with President George W. Bush and ex-Secretary of State John Kerry.

Hefner was obsessed with documenting his life and kept more than 2,400 volumes of scrapbooks containing photos of the parties at his Playboy Mansion. He was an animal lover, and the Playboy Mansion is one of the only private residences in the country to hold a zoo license. The Los Angeles property has been home to a host of critters, including peacocks, monkeys and toucans.

He helped save the “Hollywood” sign twice, raising money in the 1970s to have it completely rebuilt and donating $900,000 of his own money in 2010 to halt its sale.

An endangered rabbit found in the lower Florida Keys is named after him.
