But earlier this month the magazine took what is perhaps his most controversial decision so far, it aims to get rid of the naked and reinvent itself as a lifestyle magazine for men.
On February 12, the star of the networks Sarah McDaniel (bottom picture) became the first model on the cover of Playboy does not appear nude.
In fact, the original idea was not Hefner, the chief editor of the magazine. However, he agreed with the decision to change forever the style of Playboy.
Many wonder if the new style to take the magazine, leaving behind bare, will be the end of his years of controversy.
The controversial cover
Sara was very happy to be the first star that was not naked in Playboy, but has admitted he would have considered appearing naked if it was necessary. However, one of the biggest controversies of the cover is related to another star that would not even appear on the front page of the magazine.
Jessica Alba was asked the proposition. The actress was chosen for publication sexy star of the year in its edition of March 2006 (in the picture above). However, Alba did not like the idea of appearing on the cover of the magazine, so Playboy used a publicity photo from the film Into the Blue in which the actress appears in a bikini.
The actress did not like the surprise. He published a statement in which he revealed that Playboy "violated my personal rights" and "has blatantly misled the public" into thinking that she had consented to appear on the cover.
The actress was so angry that he filed a lawsuit against Playboy alleging that the publication had "seriously damaged" reputation. Hefner relaxed somewhat delicate situation donating money to two charities, Keep A Child Alive and Until There's A Cure .
In October 1971, Darine Stern, became the first African American woman on the cover of the magazine, which was considered controversial by some, even though it had been eight years since Martin Luther King Jr. offered his speech "I have a dream" which called for an end to racism in America.
A new controversy erupted in 2012 when the news that Bollywood star, Sherlyn Chopra, became the first Indian woman to appear on the cover of the magazine and would undress in their inside pages are known. The news was not well accepted in India, where the publication is prohibited due to strict national standards of decency issues.
Soon after, the feminist comics fans were up in arms because of the cover of the February 2008 in which she appeared Tiffany Fallon painted like Wonder Woman. Many thought that picture of heroin would damage its image in young women.
Interview with Jimmy Carter
Playboy has also been embroiled in controversies related to politics. In 1976, then-candidate for president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, granted an interview to the magazine by freelance journalist Robert Scheer. It confessed that he had "looked at many women with lust" and had "been unfaithful many times in my heart."
However, the honest review of Carter was not well received among American voters.
Following the outrage that spread across North America, Carter, who had pledged to "not lie," he tried to defend himself saying that his comments "were part of his human nature."
Despite his mistake, these comments did not affect his candidacy and a year later became president of the United States.
The wife of Congressman
Playboy another political setback came four years later, in the April 1981.
Rita Jenrette, the now ex-wife of John Jenrette, a Democrat and member of the House of Representatives, appeared nude in the magazine and confessed in the article accompanying the photos had sex on the steps of the United States Capitol after a night session in the House.
In the article, entitled "The release of the wife of the congressman," Rita said she and John "made love on the marble steps leading to the monuments."
The news came at a bad time for John and a year earlier had been convicted of accepting a bribe of $ 50,000, which became known as the Abscam scandal.
However, the controversial comments made Rita Playboy will not withdraw the proposal, which appeared on the cover of the May 1984.
Referring to the statement months later, Rita, who also insisted on items that "never looked like the wife of a member of Congress," he told the New Yorker: "It was a very stormy, everyone made me questions about it. "
Tragic Playmates
Unfortunately, Playboy has also compiled the tragic story of several playmates .
One of the most striking was the case of Dorothy Stratten, a former Playmate of the Month , who was killed at age 20 by her ex-husband Paul Snider, in 1980, after she began to see the film director Peter Bogdanovich . Then Paul killed himself with the same gun he used to kill his ex-wife.
More recently, Playboy model, Katie, died on Feb. 1 after suffering a "catastrophic" stroke, with just 34 years.
One of the most popular models Playboy was Marilyn Monroe, who unfortunately died early due to a drug overdose when he was 36 years old.
Monroe was known for being the face of the cover and several pages of the first edition of Sweetheart of the Month , she had been chosen by Hefner to appear in the first issue of the magazine in December 1953.
Like Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith was another converted movie star who became Playboy model who died at age 30.
Smith rose to fame in the pages of Playboy in 1992 and was honored as the Playmate of the Year in the edition of 1993, shortly before he began to enjoy his film career. Unfortunately, she was found dead due to a drug overdose in February 2007.
Smith was known as the "Jayne Mansfield 90s" because of its resemblance to the former Playboy model, who also became a Hollywood star before dying with just 34 in a car accident in 1967.
A book Naked
Another Playboy model who was very close to being included in the list of tragedies was Holly Madison.
The beautiful blonde of 36 years was one of the official girlfriends Hefner from 2001 to 2008, the year he left behind their relationship and the Playboy Mansion. Holly left the magazine because he was "uncomfortable" working with Hefner after their separation.
In his book Naked, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny , Holly revealed that he had thought of ending his life in 2002, in a bath of the famous residence.
He wrote: "Maybe it was the grass and alcohol, but the most successful drown seemed to escape the life she led ridiculous way."
He admitted that his family probably would have been "devastating" loss, but said that during that time rarely saw them as they cared too much.
Life in the mansion
Holly is not the only Playboy model who has talked about how strange it is to live in the famous mansion.
Kendra Wilkinson with Holly and Bridget Marquardt, 42, staged at three parallel girlfriends Hef in the series reality TV The Girls Next Door , in which the lives of these girls was documented in the house.
In 2009, Kendra, 30, revealed that the trio received a payment of $ 1,000 per week, but they were not allowed to have a job.
He said: "I did not like to accept it, but we could not just have a job and we received money from fees for our appearances".
The former Playmate Izabella St. James also wrote about the assignment he received in his book Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion . He said Hefner "using money as a weapon" and sometimes did not give them cash to the girls if they had been out of town or "lost one of its" official date nights. "
Nevertheless, Kendra, the star of I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here said he only saw Hef "once a day", especially before going to the office.
Sometimes she had a relationship with the owner of Playboy, but insisted in his memoirs that he had to be "very drunk or smoke a lot of grass" to "survive" to sexual relations with the publisher of the adult magazine, adding that meetings They lasted about 60 seconds.
She wrote: "When he passed a minute, I separated and I was done. It was like a job. The timer begins to move and then stops. I did not like having sex with him. "
However, despite the negative reviews of Kendra's mansion, Hefner also admitted that their "best friend" and that made her feel "beautiful" several times in his life.
Cosby allegations
Recently, the mansion was involved in even more controversy when comedian Bill Cosby, a good friend of Hefner, was accused of molesting a woman named Judy Huth at the Playboy Mansion in 1974.
The lawsuit, which took place in 2014, it was claimed that Cosby had bothered to Judy, and earlier this month, a judge asked Cosby offer a second deposition.
After the lawsuit was filed in 2014, Hefner insisted he had "never" tolerated such behavior in the House.
In fact, in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter she noted: "Bill Cosby is a good friend for many years and think about these accusations I find it very sad."
"I Never tolerate such behavior, regardless of who was involved."
The former dancer Chloe Goins, 24, said Cosby sexually assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion in 2008.
In January this year it was held that the actor would not be prosecuted in Los Angeles for the alleged incident, but Chloe confessed to the Daily Mail Online: "I have not yet fallen arms".
