Hugh Hefner
Hugh Hefner wasn't always the playboy mogul that he grew up to be. Playboy was intended not just to be a magazine that had pictures of nude women in it, it was a platform for new writers to make their voices heard. The articles that he approved typically discussed political issues, racial injustices, homosexuality, and some even challenged the mission and effect of Playboy itself. Hefner may have passed away, but his legacy and the ethics surrounding Playboy still exist today.
