A post highlighting the disturbing significance of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's final resting place went viral on Facebook over the weekend. Hefner, who passed away at the age of 91 on at his home on Wednesday, will be buried next to actress and model Marilyn Monroe. Hefner purchased the grave in 1992 and was buried on Monday.
The post, written by Sarah Vaughn Patzel and shared by pro-life feminist group New Wave Feminists, tells the story of how Hefner purchased nude photos of Monroe from early in her career (that she attempted to distance herself from) and featured them on the cover of the first issue of Playboy without notifying or compensating her for the images. Hefner and Monroe never met. Monroe passed away, likely from suicide, in 1962, at the age of 36.
