American icon and founder of Playboy Enterprises, Hugh Hefner, aged 91, passed away on September 27. According to an official statement, Hefner died of natural causes, surrounded by loved ones at the Playboy Mansion.

Born in Chicago, Hefner introduced America to Playboy in 1953 and today, it is one of the most recognizable brands in the world which revolutionized the adult entertainment industry. He published the historic first undated issue, which featured Marilyn Monroe before her stardom, after raising $ 8,000 from friends and family and sold almost 54,000 copies at 50 cents each. His first publisher’s message was,“We don’t expect to solve any world problems or prove any great moral truths.

Originally titled “Stag Party,” Playboy challenged puritanical convention and fought for women’s rights including birth control. He advocated freedom of speech in all its aspects, supported progressive social causes and also booked black artists in defiance of segregation laws. He has stated in multiple interviews that his life and Playboy were a reflection of the conflicts that exist in America related to sexuality.

Playboy magazine spun into a media and entertainment industry giant, advertised as the emblem of the sexual revolution and became the most successful men’s magazine in the world. He wrote 25 installations of the Playboy Philosophy championing abortion rights and repealing 19 century sex laws.  Playboy also published articles and short fiction by some of the most celebrated writers such as Ray Bradbury, Ian Fleming, Carl Sagan, John Updike and Vladimir Nabokov. The magazine is also known for publishing lengthy interviews with high profile figures like Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon and Jimmy Carter.

Hefner built an empire that included TV shows, a jazz festival and a string of Playboy Clubs and created a niche for upscale men’s magazine, combining images of nude women with in depth articles, interviews and fiction by a variety of well known writers.
