Hugh Hefner, American founder of the international adult magazine Playboy, has died at the age of 91. Playboy Enterprises Inc. said he passed away peacefully at home in Los Angeles, from natural causes.
休．海夫納，國際成人雜誌《花花公子》的美國籍創辦人，終年91歲。花花公子有限公司指出，他在洛杉磯家中安詳過世，死於自然因素。
Hefner began publishing Playboy in his kitchen in 1953. It became the largest-selling men’s magazine in the world, shifting seven million copies a month at its peak. The first edition featured a set of nude photographs of Marilyn Monroe.
海夫納於1953年在自家廚房開始出版《花花公子》。該刊成為全球銷量最大的男性雜誌，高峰期的月銷量達700萬冊。其創刊號以一組瑪麗蓮夢露的裸照為特色。
Hefner’s trailblazing magazine helped make nudity more acceptable in mainstream publications, despite emerging at a time when US states could legally ban contraceptives. It also made him a multi-millionaire, spawning a business empire that included casinos and nightclubs.
