In the 1960s, when Playboy magazine had been richly successful, publisher Hugh Hefner bought a mansion in his hometown of Chicago: the "Playboy Mansion."
It had a sign by the front door that said, in Latin, "If you don't swing, don't ring."
(in Latin?? ...oh - kay...)
------------------------ Millie Williams was Hugh Hefner's first serious girlfriend - they went to college together - he was on the G-I bill, same as my dad. - After World War II, an American soldier could go to college "on the G-I bill."
My dad was born in 1923; Hugh Hefner was born in 1926. Same generation. They did their part in World War Two, to "make the world safe for democracy."
(Who is going to make it safe for democracy, now? - I don't know...)
Hugh Hefner's first crush in high school was a girl named Betty Conklin, who didn't respond to him - that was his first heartbreak, according to the documentaries.
Betty Conklin, Millie Williams (who was Hefner's first wife), and Barbi Benton, his girlfriend from 1968 to 1977 - looked amazingly alike. Dark brown hair, same face-shape, and smile....
