Marilyn Monroe was featured on the cover and as a centerfold in the first Playboy, which he described as a "good choice" in a CNN interview in 2010. While Playboyis known for women in its pages, it also published fiction from writers such as Ian Fleming, Margaret Atwood, Jack Kerouac and Kurt Vonnegut.

There were also interviews, dubbed the "PlayboyInterview," with the likes of jazz great Miles Davis, Steve Jobs, and Martin Luther King. Hefner's insistence on socially progressive commentary and interview subjects came to define the brand as much as its centerfolds; he was an early proponent of gay rights and other forms of social activism that were way ahead of the times.

In the late 1990s, the influence of men's magazines like Playboyand Penthousewaned, and Hefner retreated from the spotlight, rarely leaving his famed Los Angeles mansion. But he re-emerged in 2005 as a reality TV figure with The Girls Next Door, which followed his complex polyamorous relationships with the women featured in his magazine. Playboynow operates websites, the U.S. magazine and more than 20 licensed international editions.

Reaction to the death of an 'entrepreneur and innovator'

As a pioneer in adult entertainment, Hefner's passing was met with melancholy from industry heavyweights, entertainers, and former Playmates.

The fate of the Playboy Mansion

The 29-room mansion measures 21,987 square feet, and was the home to Hefner's infamously lavish parties, attended by models and celebrities.

Part of the deal was that Hefner would be able to reside at the home until he passed away, according to E News.

"The Playboy Mansion has been a creative center for Hef as his residence and workplace for the past 40 years, as it will continue to be if the property is sold," a Playboy Enterprises representative told the news outlet at the time.
