The Sounds of Lost Hefner

With Playboy announcing earlier today that it is suspending production of the print edition of its flagship magazine for the rest of 2020---a move that many believe also signals the end of the publication---we thought we'd post this bonus edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL in which Phil Gries played audio highlights from some of the early television ventures of Playboy founder and publisher Hugh Hefner, including a 1960 edition of Playboy's Penthouse (a precursor to Playboy After Dark) featuring Dave Brubeck; a 1962 profile of Hef on Keyhole, a documentary series produced by Ziv; and Hefner's appearance in The Pursuit of Pleasure, a documentary that aired on NBC in May 1967.
