Hugh Hefner: “Everything I Learned About Love, I Learned from the Movies”
Hugh Hefner revealed he had a loveless childhood and learned about love from going to the movies. The Playboy founder explained:
“Everything I learned about love, I learned from the movies. The reality is because I was not shown affection, I escaped into an alternate universe, and it came right out of the movies. Love for me is defined almost exclusively in terms of romantic love as defined by the films of my childhood.
The movies, other than family, were the major influence of my childhood. I was in a very typical Midwestern, Methodist home with a lot of repression and not much demonstrative expression of emotion. My escape was the darkened theater.”
He added:
“I think my fascination with blondes is directly connected to the impact the platinum blondes had in the movies of the 1930s. Jean Harlow, Alice Faye, all of those Busby Berkeley showgirls. You can’t go wrong. Well, you probably could, but what fun.”
I guess this explains why he has had to have so many lovers in his lifetime…lucky for him, but I wonder how the 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon can handle “dating” the 82-year-old.
