Playboy Founder Hugh Hefner Discusses His Life, His Family Successor, & Playboy's Future

His son looks so much like him when he was younger!

I've just read of the passing of Mary O'Connor, Hef's personal assistant -- or right arm should I say? -- of some 40 years. She was as much a part of the show as were girls young enough to be her grandchildren. Unfortunately, with Hef's new marriage, I suspect it would be awkward for Hol, Bridg, and Kendra to show their respects in person. Too bad!

Ah, the soon to be passing of the guard. I wonder what developments will take place at the Palace with the infusion of fresh blood at the helm? It's interesting that with all Hef's immediate access to the pleasures of the flesh his children were never left on the back burner. I still wish that Hef and Hol could've made a go of it since methinks she would've been more of a team than Crystal. That going public with such intimate details of their bedroom was offputting to the max!

Playboy has a sophisticated culture! It's not like Maxim, and they need to streamline their company and not have 60 divisions. Playboy Magazine with a few special editions, produce high quality porn to distribute digitally and on tv. Collect revenues every time someone wants to use the logo. Not hard.

I deeply admire Hef not because he's famous and wealthy but because of fame and wealth he plays by his own rules. Only Hugh Hefner can decide what's best for him. I had wished Hol would've prima donna in his life. Alas...But as I've said, only Hef can know what's best for him. After all, Hugh Hefner knows Hugh Hefner better than anyone else on this earth!

I've often wondered who has done more for enlightenment in the USA, Thomas Jefferson or Hugh Hefner. I incline towards Hef. Many a girl, and nice girls at that, can now feel free to admit they enjoy sex as opposed to saying "I want lots and lotsa babies," which used to be the discreet way of saying I like sex!

It's just naked women, seriously..... No big deal. And he is a pimp

): .i hate being a girl =_=

الله يلعن كل داعم لهذه الشركه الاباحيه

I feel your pain lady.

cooper is like true american royalty about to inherit a true dynasty, Kennedy who?

BEST. INHERITANCE. EVER.

In a very critical area, Hefner was more of an "emancipator" than Lincoln.  Lincoln freed the body from chains.  Hef freed THE PSYCHE  from those very items.   There's no such thing as a freed mental slave!  And throughout his days on earth, for that reason, Hef has had a liberating impact on all those who want to be free.  He's amazing for the way he took life by the horns and played it on his own terms!

they should have gone into the hip hop culture, it would have guaranteed a continue stream of revenue income, but they wanted to brand their name to white middle class and upper white class, which is the downfall

I cant believe people actually buy playboy and magazines like that?? Inside has no secual relevance at all

Err the son seems gay. It would be hilarious if he actually is. 

Wow i know like nothing about him and my mom told me that im related to him from my grandmas side of
The family , weird and idek him

I thought Heff  owned it all and why doesnt he ?

Feel like Cooper wont be able to handle this, but hope he proves me wrong and continues to make this well know company very successful

Can you imagine how much sex his son must've had since he's hit puberty?

there will never be another real Hugh Hefner, he's selling the Rights to the PlayBoy mansion and his son is going to turn the company symbol for gays . smh rip

If he's gay that would be such a waste smh.

is it just me, or do they play the Futurama music at the end?

Y'all are jealous, I think he is hot! Love nerds.

Cooper looked gay

NERGH HAAHCHUE

May he rest in peace.

Is all about Brazzers

PIMP PERSONIFIED

It was the me too movement and Hollys and Crystals graphic tales that killed the brand. Young people don't go out to drink and take drugs and drug their girlfriends. They are out of touch. I would invest in the hotels , resort and dump the rest. From an economists point of view. Sleaze is no longer cool

❤...his mum...c...duh...Life..❤ and B Happy 😁

COOPER OR WHOEVER RUNS THE COMPANY NEEDS TO CO ME TALK TO ME NOW SO I CAN GET YOU ALL MORE MONEY , AND ME SOME TOO. HURRY UP BEFORE I DIE AGAIN OR SOMETHING .. LOL..

FIRST LESSON , WHEN THERS BUSINESS TO TAKE CARE OF OR DISCUSS , DONT PUT IT OFF OR BEAT AROUND THE BUSH MY BOY.......

give me the company , I know what I have to do and what he expects. i watched a bunch of the interviews and all that jazz. I pick up on what he's laying down. The board must make that decision for cooper. Because coopers on drugs , I'll stay clean if you entrust me with job. I'll even try to teach copper what his dad was trying too.

i know that ceo gentalman and even the man doing the interview is in on the suttle hints and secret clues. Heff instructed everyone to leave hiden wisdom for his son via videio recorderings for when he wasnt around anymore...

you dont have a clue whats going on , do you cooper? look everyone thats reading this , I know heff told you that he had to want it and seek out this fatherly advice himself. well, the plan has changed , come pick me and cooper up and I'll take him under my wing. we will be like brothers before long. dont let the boy run away. ITS TIME FOR TOUGH LOVE ,
